Russian boxer Vasily Voitsekhovsky told that it is not for nothing that he occupies high positions in the world rankings.
Wojciechowski (13-0, KO 7), ranked 13th in the IBF light heavyweight rankings, will next fight on August 23 in Moscow against Eric Katompa (10-3, KO 3) of the Democratic Republic of Congo. In the BoxRec rankings, Woitsekhovsky is ranked third among Russian light heavyweights and 20th in the world. In his previous fight in February, he defeated Ezequiel Osvaldo Maderna of Argentina.
— My fight is announced, preparations are in full swing. Now we are training and I have also changed teams. I am currently being trained by Yuri Trogiyanov, Honored Master of Sports of Russia in kickboxing, himself a former professional boxer with a good track record.
Regarding the opponent… As for the dead, it is better to say only good things about the opponents or say nothing. I have not watched his fights yet, but in any case I will listen, as always, as if I were going to fight for the world title. I now understand how important each fight is to me. After my last fight, the public was left with a lot of questions, a lot of criticism regarding the opposition and the quality of my fights. Nevertheless, he remains a top-class footballer in the world top 15. Do not underestimate that. Many people want to be where I am now, but few achieve it!
I only strive forward, I hope that big arenas, high-level fights, serious names await me. Now I will have the main fight in Moscow, but this is not new for me, this is a familiar state, there are no emotions, neither good nor bad, about it. I consider myself the present and the immediate future of Russian boxing, so it is normal that I am in the main fight.
I think that something needs to change in Russian boxing now, and I will try to contribute to it. So that they start looking at boxers differently. So that the stereotypes that I don’t like are destroyed, and so that Russian boxers are respected and considered stars not only in the ring. I believe that Russia has everything for this,” Voitsekhovsky told .
