Usik’s promoter on fight with Wilder: “This is a fight worth having”

Alexander KrasyukThe promoter of WBO, IBF, IBO, WBA heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) sees Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) as his boxer’s future opponent.

Note that Usik will return to the ring on February 17 when he faces WBC champion Tyson Fury in an outright title fight. There is a possibility of a two-way rematch, but there is no guarantee that the second fight will actually happen.

In return, Wilder will return to the ring on December 23 in Saudi Arabia, where he will meet former WBO world champion Joseph Parker.

Krasyuk sees Parker as a very dangerous opponent for Wilder.

“Now is not the time to talk about these things. I can say that Deontay Wilder is one of the three best heavyweights in the world and of course fighting him is something worth doing and seeing as a boxing fan. It will be a great fight, we will see. But from the perspective of Usik’s career, Tyson It is important how long the rematch will last and how the fight with Wilder will go. Also, let’s not forget the fights between Wilder and Anthony Joshua that will take place on December 23.

Joseph Parker is a technician and can inflict serious damage on a man who is not strong in boxing technique but has punching power. We have seen many times that this is Wilder’s weakness; He’s not a boxer, he punches. This is also a big challenge for Joshua because Otto Wallin is one of the most underrated fighters in the league. He is a shifty southpaw and his subsequent fights did not go well as the two defeats were blamed on Joshua. These will be great fights,” Krasyuk said.

TYSON FURY: “There was a void after Klitschko. He can fill that void.”

Former two-time world champion Tyson Rage He believes that boxer Agit Kabayel will be the first boxing star in Germany after the Klitschko brothers, who usually hold their fights here.

“Germany has been missing a bright boxing star for a long time. In the early 2000s, the country experienced a real boom thanks to the Klitschko brothers, Arthur Abraham and Marco Huck. After the end of the Klitschko era, this scene was almost empty. Now there is a gap there, and in my opinion, Agit has the capacity to be the boxer to fill this gap,” said Tyson.

Previously, former world champion Tyson Fury explained why Alexander Usyk will not fight against interim WBC champion Agit Kabayel.

Former world champion: “It was terrible, complete nonsense”

former world champion Carl Froch He shared his impressions of the victory of the British heavyweight Anthony Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) vs. American blogger jake paul (12-2, 7 knockouts):

“Joshua got the job done in 6 rounds. Paul didn’t lose consciousness. He got hit on the chin, fell down and didn’t get up until the end of the countdown. Honestly, the fight was terrible, just bullshit. It was a really bad fight for AJ. AJ followed Jake around the ring, threw punches, hit Paul on the shoulder, pushed him into the corner. He didn’t actually hit with his right hand.

He didn’t seem willing to go out there and destroy Jake Paul in a round or two, which I think he could have done. He’s been away from the ring for 15 months, he’s a little slow. He might be a little rusty outside the ring.”
