“Ukrainian boxer gave interview Sport.ua”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Danilo told about it in an exclusive interview for Sport.ua.
-How are you after the second stage of the Grand Prix? In what form are you in?
– All right. I am now gaining momentum and getting ready for the next stage of the WBC Grand Prie.
– What about the match against Basran? What is the opponent’s score?
– I can say one thing about the duel – we have won and it is good, this is another story.
Eric Basran was an experienced fighter, but it seemed that he had a bit with me.
– You made it to the quarterfinals of the tournament. How important is this achievement for you?
– I do not attach much importance to this, because the Suleiman Cup is not mine yet.
-What do you think about those boxers who remained at the Grand Prix in your weight? Which of them is the most dangerous?
– All the boxers left with beautiful fighters. I think one of the most dangerous is the representative of Kazakhstan, with whom I will measure in the next battle, as well as a representative of Uzbekistan, which is below in the tournament grid.
– How is preparation for the third stage?
-Preparation has just begun as long as we get into work, it is different from the previous ones, except that it will be even harder, because it is necessary to fit much more.
– How do you evaluate Kazakh, which will you be boxing in the 1/4 finals?
– He is a very experienced boxer, whose shoulders are large background in amateur boxing.
– How do you get a tournament? What are the general impressions?
– The organization is good. Of course, there are their exceptions where they “collapse the world”, but in general all is well.
-What are you promised to win at the Grand Prix? What is the prize?
– As far as I know, this is the Jose Suleiman Cup, as well as the WBC Silver belt in its weight category.
-Do you pay the prize at each stage of the Grand Prix?
– Yes, there are prizes and they are very good, we are not offended in this regard.
– Does WBC cover boxers? (flight, accommodation and more)
– Of course, all our costs cover the sheikhs and WBC. It can be said that flight, transfer and accommodation are given turnkey.
-How do you evaluate the speeches of other Ukrainians on the Grand Prix?
– All our boys are well.
– Let’s move on to the theme of the battle Usik – Duba 2. What do you think about the present form of Daniel?
– I don’t think anything, because he was that and stayed. Well, he won Joshua, beat Khrgovich and Miller. Compared to the Usik, the last two are the middle ones. I do not think that Alexander will surprise something. Moreover, everyone thinks that Dubois has become more brave, but this courage can still play an evil joke with him. Let’s see.
– Will Duba be able to show Usik something new and create a danger?
– He will not show something new. It may only be more persistent from the first rounds.
– In the previous duel, the British struck below the belt and still proves that there was a clean blow. How do you evaluate this episode?
– Indeed, in my opinion, there was a controversial moment, but it is quite a fair decision of the referee. In fact, Duba broke the rules and hit the belt, for which, incidentally, the ball was not removed. However, “Ref”, because he had the right, took a pause. In general, Daniel did not finish the case, and Alexander wanted to return to the battle in this episode as soon as possible, and even heard that the angle of the Ukrainian told him that he would not hurry and recover from the belt after that blow.
-What is your forecast for the battle of Usik-Duba-2?
– Of course, as a true supporter of Alexander Usik, I believe that he would confidently deal with Duba, and even if he had not been his supporter of the same thought. Alexander draws important conclusions from previous battles. A good example is the second match against Tyson Fury. Therefore, the experience this time is minimal. Yes, it is a weighted weight and it is boxing, so we must be ready for everything, but not think about the bad and tune in for the better.
