The Ukrainian heavyweight boxer spoke about the reasons for the first defeat in the professional ring.
Viktor Vykhryst tells why he lost ahead of schedule in a duel with Cuban Lennier Pero. According to the Ukrainian heavyweight fighter, the reason was the injury.
“After the sixth round, my ribs hurt, but I decided to continue the fight. The pain got worse and didn’t allow me to box at full strength.
I understood in the fight that I was the winner and in control of the fight, but after a missed punch in the eighth round, the pain was so bad that I could not move. As a result, I won on points, but the injury gave victory to the opponent,” Vykhryst said as quoted by vringe.com.
Recall that Viktor Vykhryst could not continue the fight in the eighth round, and the victory by technical knockout was awarded to his opponent. For him, this defeat was the first of 12 fights in the professional ring.
