The last fight the Ukrainian had in December 2021
Ukrainian heavyweight Vladislav Sirenko (19-0, 16 KOs) spoke about his readiness to return to the ring in 2022. The boxer also stressed that he had spent almost a year without performances due to Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine.
Why didn’t you show up in the ring? First, the war in Ukraine – [это] very hard, very emotional. Many members of my family were forced to evacuate from Ukraine to the Netherlands. I am very sad that my family and my country have to go through hell.”
“I also have relatives in Russia, which makes things even more difficult because they don’t have freedom of speech. But I have enough patience. I have to make sure I’m fully focused [на боксе] before returning to the ring.
“I don’t have any scheduled fights right now. James [Башир] not worried because he knows that I need to be mentally and physically ready for the next fight.”
“But I definitely want to fight this year, and next year I want to fight at least two or three times,” Sirenko summed up.
Last year, Sirenko had four fights – the Ukrainian celebrated victories in all of them. In March, Sirenko defeated the Pole Kamil Sokolovsky by a decision of the judges, in June he knocked out the Frenchman Nevfel Uatu, in September he knocked out the Russian Alexander Ustinov.
In December 2021, Sirenko defended the WBC Asia heavyweight championship belt against his compatriot Andrei Rudenko.
