In the summer of 2018, Usyk confidently defeated Gassiev
Famous Russian heavyweight Murat Gassiev admitted that it was very difficult for him in sparring with the former world champion Wladimir Klitschko.
“Honestly, nothing really worked out, because he used his data very well, moved, controlled the fight with a jab. But even if he beat me all 10 or 12 rounds, it would only be a good experience for me.”
“I read an interview where some coach said that he beat me. I don’t deny it. In general, I was satisfied with the sparring, because it is a great honor to share the ring with such a boxer. I was then 19 years old, about 20,” Gassiev said in an interview with the Ushatayka YouTube channel.
Recall that in the summer of 2018 in Moscow, Alexander Usik confidently defeated Gassiev in the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion.
