The Russian boxer was inspired by the Ukrainian heavyweight’s victory in the duel with Anthony Joshua.
Dmitry Bivol, who dramatically lost to Saul Alvarez, spoke about what helped him create the seemingly impossible. In an interview with Box TV, the Russian especially mentioned Alexander Usik. According to Bivol, the Ukrainian’s victory against Anthony Joshua helped him to believe in himself against Alvarez.
“Every victory is important, but this one is especially important, because when the pound-for-pound king comes out against you, then you have to tune in, and the whole arena is against you. I think the This success is important not only for me, but for a lot of people, who are in a small group where they don’t believe, but they come out and do something.
Assets are always inspiring. I was inspired by Usyk’s win over Joshua when the man came to England. Everyone didn’t bet on him, but he won. If I remove all the camera flash, all my opponent’s media and I just accept him as a boxer, look at his qualities, I see that I am better, that if I put it in my mind, I will win. Of course, it’s a huge motivation, ”Bivol said.
