Usik's manager reacted to the announcement of Beterbiev - Bivol fight

The manager of star Ukrainian super featherweight Oleksandr Usyk Egis Klimas shared his thoughts on the announcement of the bout for the title of absolute world champion in light heavyweight all between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.

"It's always the right moment for a good fight. I believe this is a very good fight. Thanks to His Majesty for organizing it. I'm sure the fans will enjoy this fight. We have some very good names in the bantamweight division. I believe we will see a lot of good fights in the future.

Will the winner of this fight move up in weight? We'll see. I know these fighters personally, but I don't know that much about them: how hard they make weight, whether they make weight easily. That's hard to say. It's not like any of them have failed making weight. Maybe they are comfortable in this division and will continue to fight in it," Klimas said in an interview with YouTube channel Seconds Out.

Recall that the fight Beterbiev - Bivol will take place on June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
