Former World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder He stated that he was confident about his victory against Alexander Usyk, the owner of the WBC, WBA and IBF championships.

The American believes that he can loudly declare himself and surprise the boxing world by drawing parallels with the legendary Muhammad Ali.

“This will be a big thing for me and people will be shocked. When Ali said he shook the world, he really did. I’m going to shake the world, too. And I’ll do it again,” Wilder said.

Previously, Alexander Usik (24-0, 15 KOs), the holder of the WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles (over 90.7 kg), talked about his plans and admitted when he plans to end his professional career. The boxer recently vacated his WBO title and lost his status as absolute world champion.

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.
