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.
