Mauricio Suleiman called the title of absolute world champion important for the Ukrainian people.
Mauricio Sulaiman will root for Oleksandr Usyk in his fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion. The President of the WBC called the possible acquisition of this title very important for the Ukrainian people.
At the same time, the functionary mentioned the importance of victory for Tyson Fury, because world boxing is waiting for his confrontation with compatriot Anthony Joshua.
“Everyone has wanted to see Fury fight Joshua for a long time. Anthony has been looking amazing lately. He is number one in the ranking and has held the WBC international belt for a long time. Joshua at one point decided to take advantage the opportunities of other organizations, although he is the second main contender for the WBC title I like Joshua because he is a great champion and a contender.
On the other hand, Ukraine is going through a lot right now. This country has enough good fighters. Bogachuk just won the WBC Interim belt. Vasiliy Lomachenko went to Australia to regain his title. Alexander Gvozdyk will fight David Benavidez. A nation under attack must have a lot of energy, and boxing victories boost the spirits of the citizens. So Usik’s victory is a big moment for the Ukrainian people,” Boxing Scene quoted Suleiman as saying.
We remind you that Usik’s fight with Fury is scheduled for May 18 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, Anthony Joshua indicated that there will be no rematch between Usik and Fury.
