“Rass Anber gave an exclusive interview for Sport.ua”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
– You worked with many of the best fighters on the planet. Where would you put Usika among them?
– Among the best. Without any doubt. To be honest, in my career … He is exactly in the top 3 of the strongest fighters I worked with. Lomachenko, Roy Jones … Usik among them. Yes. He is definitely a generation fighter. And he deserves everything he has. This is not the one who just looks spectacular, but in fact nothing. No, he is the point. He is real.
– What do you expect on Saturday? Will the battle be completely different?
– I do not quite understand what is meant by “others”, but I think we will see another Duba.
– Another Duba?
– Yes, I think he has more confidence now. He changed his thinking. But the defeat … It is important how you respond to it. I always upset me how the fighters are afraid to lose. And he took that defeat and turned her into a chance to become a champion. This is what boxers need to understand – it is not the defeat, but what you do after it. And Duba did it.
– Are you respecting it?
– Completely. I am not sure that even his team believed in what he would do what he did. And he could, and that gave them a new hope. The victory over Joshua was huge. If there is no confidence after such, it will never appear.
