Russian Boxing Federation: Usyk vs Gassiev, July 21 in Moscow

Ward and usyk will both fight anywhere,
Usyk will lierally fight aanywhere
Ward will fight anywhere once he has hometown advantage

 

Gassiev by vicious 8th round bodyshot KO!

 

Props to Usyk for going to his opponents back yard and an opponents back yard his own country is in conflict with, that's a ballsy move. I just hope there are no shenanigans by the Russians, would be an awful way to end what has been a fantastic tournament.

 

He originally did give a flying ****.

"Most likely, I will be ready to fight by the end of June or the start of July, and [the fight] will not be Russia. Of course, it could take place in Russia, but then [the fight] would be without Olekandr Usyk," said Usyk to Ukrainian Sport.

 

Thanks for the thread and write up KiwiMan.

 

Glad that both these finals are set to happen now.
If they subbed a replacement in it would have ruined what is one of the best things to happen to boxing in recent years

It'd be good to see Dorticos / Briedis v the winner. Perhaps even those 2 fight and winner gets a shot at Usyk/Gassiev

 

Wouldn't this be dangerous for Usyk? Not bad in terms of judging but actually dangerous? Pretty sure Ukraine and Russia aren't on good terms...

 

Id say he has better chance of getting a fair shake in moscow against a russian than he would against an american in vagas
For one it won't be mandatory to have 3 Russian in moscow unlike vagas

 

Cecilia Braekhus vs Inna Sagaydakovskaya will be the co-main event.

Doesn't matter where they fight. Gawsiews power will destroy Usyk.

 

Usyk is from Crimea. He flew Ukrainian flag on his car in Crimea already under Russian control. That's what I call actually dangerous. Fighting in Moscow is OK compared to that.

 

Usyk will win every round and get robbed by Putin.

 

K2 Promotions' Krasyuk has confirmed it...

 

The judging won't matter. Gassiev will stop Usyk.
