Gassiev on sparring with Klitschko: “I don’t deny that he beat me”

Famous Russian heavyweight Murat Gassiev spoke about his sparring with the former world champion Wladimir Klitschko. According to Gassiev, the Ukrainian boxer dominated him, but he was still pleased with this experience.

“To be honest, nothing really turned out, because he used his data very well, moved, controlled the fight with a jab. But even if he beat me all 10 or 12 rounds, it would only be a good experience for me.

I read an interview where some coach said that he beat me. I don't deny it. In general, I was satisfied with the sparring, because it is a great honor to share the ring with such a boxer. I was then 19 years old, about 20,” Gassiev said.
