The Ukrainian WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion spoke about the reason for the postponement of the fight.
The organizers intentionally postponed the fight of the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion against title contender Daniel Dubois. This was announced by the owner of the belts.
Since the bidding for the title fight was won by a Ukrainian company and will be held in Poland, where a large number of our fans are expected, the date was changed from 12 to 26 August.
“We are trying to time this match to coincide with our Independence Day so that many people from Ukraine come, so that Ukrainians living in Poland come.
Moreover, now such an event can be a small break for many of them. People can be distracted for 45 minutes or an hour, get positive emotions. It is very important for me that a person forgets everything that comes to us for an hour.
Obviously on Monday people will go home and see everything again. But I know that our victory is Ukraine’s victory,” Usyk said in an interview on the Second Out YouTube channel.
We remind you, Oleksandr Usyk previously said why Poland was chosen for his next match.
