WBC, WBO, WBA heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk recalled his fight with Murat Gassiev in Moscow.
"When we realized that everything is changing from above and the final will be in Moscow, not in Saudi Arabia, we talked with the team and decided that we need the belts, the Mohammed Ali Cup and we need to win. Whether we get paid or not, whether we get something or not - we need the belts, we need the cup. And, of course, the flag in the center of Moscow, the Ukrainian anthem, going to the fight to the Ukrainian song, an incredible number of people who supported me. Everything worked out the way we needed," said Usyk during the press conference.
