— It was really hard. We started as two boxers and ended as two cormorants. At the end of the fight. Yura doesn’t stop at all in the clinch. I thought I was going to dominate in the clinch, but he didn’t give in, he hit well. My strength was weak. I prepared for only 8 days. But the experience had harmful consequences. Boxing is not fist and fist is not boxing, so if you think that you will succeed in many things here, it is not a fact at all, ”said Skobenko.
