Undefeated Cuban heavyweight champion Frank Sanchez after a one-sided unanimous decision victory over Christian Hammer began to challenge the best in his division.

“I need the best opponents right now, the top five - Tyson Fury and Alexander Usyk,” Sanchez said. “I'll knock Fury out easily. He has no boxing technique. Usyk is even simpler. He knows how to move, but he does not have such a technique as mine. "

Sanchez, 29 (20-0, 13 KOs) is ranked 5th in the WBO and WBC rankings, is trained by coach Eddie Reinoso, his teammates are Saul Alvarez, and has influential manager Lupe Valencia and plays at Premier Boxing Champions nights. Al Haymon. In the future, Sanchez has every chance to face opponents like Andy Ruiz, Luis Ortiz and Robert Helenius, or fighters who have suffered losses in their last battles, such as Deontay Wilder, Adam Kownacki, Chris Arreola, Charles Martin, Dominic Breazeale and Gerald Washington.

Sanchez claims that Reinoso and Alvarez, who sat in the ring with the team at the New Year's fight in Miami, were pleased with his performance against Hammer.

“[Reinoso and Alvarez] were happy with my performance,” said Sanchez. "Everything turned out the way they wanted. I showed everything that we worked on in the hall. I was too technical for him. That's why he couldn't hit me. I hit him on the torso and often shook him. Everything worked out great."
