On the eve of this confrontation, the athlete from Ukraine shared his plans and reported that he was aimed at the title of World Champion:
“I plan to return to Ukraine when the war is over. It is difficult for me to talk about it. The whole world helped us, especially the United States. It’s been over three years, I try to focus on boxing, but my family – brother and friends – are in Ukraine.
Gonzalez is a strong opponent and a loud name for me. I’m going to take the next step in my career, so it’s important to show where I am. For a long time I did not have such important matches, so a little excited. A heavy fight is waiting for me – Joet has a special style, he is a hard boxer and has a well -known name.
After that, I am going to fight for the title of World Champion. However, I do not think about it yet, at first – Gonzalez. If he wins me, it will take my place in the ranking. If I overcome it, I will claim the belt. It is a great opportunity for both of us, ”Hegay said.
The Ukrainian boxer ranks second in the World Boxing Organization (WBO) and has a good chance of coming up for the title of champion.
