Report from vRINGe: Fight Usyk – Joshua. ZSU
– Loma, what is your reaction to the duel?
– I have one question – what is this at the expense of 115 – 113 in favor of Joshua? This referee, does he understand boxing or not?
– This is madness. How did you see the fight? How would you rate Usyk’s performance?
“It was a very great fight. They both showed us a great character, a great character of warriors. Amazing duel.
— What does this victory mean for the people of Ukraine?
“It means a lot because it is a big victory for our country. Sorry, I don’t know how to explain this in English, but this is a big win.

– With whom do you want to see Oleksandr Usyk’s next fight, with Tyson Fury?
– I want to see the next fight for the green title on the line – for the WBC. It will be Fury or another boxer – it doesn’t matter.
What can you say about Anthony Joshua’s performance?
– He changed the strategy a bit, but it didn’t help him, because Usyk is on another level!
Do you believe Fury is retired?
– I dont know. Sorry.
When will we see you return to the ring?
– October 29 in New York.
– Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia are constantly “rolling the barrel” at each other. If this fight takes place, who will you choose as the winner?
“This is a very good fight, but we have another top fighter in this division. So let’s see.
