– First place in Boxer of the Year voting – Terence Crawford, hats off. I will put Naoya Inoue and Gervonta Davis in second place. They are very cool and amazing guys. It’s a shame they’re small.
I will share third place between Bivol and Beterbiev. Two different styles, each cool in their own way. I’m really looking forward to seeing them in the same ring. I would like to see it live, in the front row, to feel this fight. I think it will be the fight of the decade, and maybe the fight of the century in the light heavyweight division,” Egorov told .
