World champion by WBC, WBA and IBF super heavyweight (over 90.7 kg) Alexander Usik (24-0, 15 KOs) chatted with his old rival, Briton Anthony Joshua (29-4, 25 KOs).
The former world champion had a terrible accident in which he lost his friends and mentors – Robert Lutz and Sina Gami. Usik admitted that he spoke with Anthony and heard in his voice the desire to continue his professional career.
Former Bellator titleholder and current UFC fighter Yaroslav Amosov (29-1) admitted that he was ready to enter the octagon to fight against the Russians.
He understands the political situation, but is confident that a victory over a representative of the aggressor country would be a welcome gift for Ukrainian fans.
It was also learned that Usik was in cooperation talks with Zuffa Boxing. It is a professional boxing promotional company founded by Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White and General Entertainment Authority (GEA) Chairman Turki Al-Sheikh.
