Alexander KrasyukWBO/WBA/IBF/IBO World Heavyweight Champion Promoter Oleksandr Usyk, spoke about the decision of the Ukrainian boxer to hold a second fight against Anthony Joshua. The revenge will take place on August 20 in Saudi Jeddah.
“I remember the press conference before the first fight. The last words were ‘May the best man win, see you at the rematch’. And here we are again before the rematch.
This is a huge fight, it is a great honor to participate in it. It took us a lot of effort to organize it. In February-March, we were forced to face a war in our country and were not sure that this battle would take place. But, in the end, we got together, decided to fight and represent Ukraine with pride in our hearts.
And let this fight take place, let the strongest win in it. And we will see each other again in the fight for the title of the absolute world champion, ”said Krasyuk.
