Immediately after the official weigh-in before tomorrow’s rematch against Anthony Joshua, world heavyweight champion Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) gave a short interview, answering questions about his weight, past procedure and the upcoming fight.
– We watched your weight a lot and hoped that it would be greater (than in the first fight). Was it just that camera angle or something happened?
“You see, hopes do not always become reality.
– You looked at each other for a long time (during the “battle of looks”). What did you see in his eyes?
– Myself. Your reflection.
– Did you see in his eyes the reflection of how you leave the ring as the current champion?
We will see it tomorrow.
— What is your final message for everyone who looks at you around the world?
Thanks everyone. With God!
