Frank Sanchez (21-0, 14 KOs) so far confidently wins all his fights in the pro ring, although, as is often the case with Cubans, sometimes he boxes too conservatively. After all, he hasn't let his promoters down yet, and some see him as a future heavyweight champion.

On Saturday evening, the 30-year-old heavyweight added another victory to his record, having dealt with Carlos Negron (25-4, 20 KOs). After that, the Cuban with the famous coach Joe Goossen in the corner announced a campaign for champion belts. The WBC title now belongs to Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs), and the IBF, WBA and WBO title belongs to Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs).

“We knew that Negron was a tough guy and would do everything possible to win. The knockout was only a matter of time, I did what I had to do and got very close to the fights with Fury and Usyk. The world sanctioning organizations rank me high in the rankings, so I should soon become a mandatory contender for one of them. I want to test myself and test myself with the best heavyweights. I hope that next year I will have such fights and these will be the best boxers available on the market,” said Sanchez.
