One of the prizes that the Ukrainian and British boxers will fight for has been noticed by the Vatican.
Pope Francis blessed the WBC belt, which is at stake in the fight for the title of absolute world champion between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. This was announced by the President of the World Boxing Council, Mauricio Suleiman.
According to the functionary, the head of the Vatican will watch the match between the Ukrainian and the British, and is looking forward to it.
“Pope Francis has a foundation. I found out that there is a program called “Football with Values”. conducts many events, training for thousands of people around the world.
I brought the belt, he blessed it and signed it. Dad signed one side and said I had to sign the other, or the fighter would think I was rooting for the other. It won’t win. He is looking forward to May 18th.
Dad compared a cobra and a mongoose. The mongoose is small, the king cobra is the most terrible snake, but the mongoose defeats it. And he gives this analogy, saying that in life sometimes you have to know your weaknesses and strengths, use them and always know the weaknesses of your enemy,” Sky Sports quotes Suleiman.
Let’s remember that earlier the organizers of the fight between Usik and Fury indicated to abandon the rematch between the boxers.
