Oleksandr Zakhozhyi, Ukrainian super heavyweight boxer, spoke about a possible cooperation with trainer Jonathan Banks.
"I might be interested in this option, but you have to try with him. I mean, I don't know what he's like in camp, how he feels about it in general. Because as far as I know, American coaches they're like, 'I'll come and hold you on your feet - that's all I can do.' And full training, like our Ukrainian trainers - he is at one, and at the second, and at the third training session, he is everywhere. So I do not even know how to do it, to try some kind of cooperation with him. I don't want to go to America yet, I am comfortable and convenient to prepare in Germany", - said the boxer.
Ukrainian super-heavyweight boxer Oleksandr Usyk believes that compatriot Oleksandr Usyk, the WBA, WBO and IBF world champion in this division, will be able to hold on for victory over British Tyson Fury, the holder of the WBC belt.
"We hope that Alexander will win. But actually I think it will be very hard this time. Because Fury has taken to training very actively. And we see what good shape he's in now. He's lost weight. I think he's going to try to outbox Usik. I don't think he'll be charging for a knockout. I think he will try to outscore by speed," - quotes Zakhozhego vRINGe .
Recall that the long-awaited fight for all belts in heavyweight will take place on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
