“Kevin Lerena challenged the Ukrainian champion”, — write: sport.ua
“I would like to have a fight with Usyk – he deserved this chance because he defeated all the strongest. Oleksandr is the face of boxing and can do whatever he wants. I was never offered a fight with the Ukrainian, but he may get a chance to conquer the third division,” Lerena said.
Oleksandr Usyk became champions in heavyweight and super heavyweight. Bridgeweight is an intermediate category that was created so that there would not be too much of a difference in weight between boxers.
Kevin Lerena will meet Ukrainian Serhii Radchenko in the next match. The fight will take place on February 22 in Kyiv, but there has been no official confirmation yet, as the sides of the boxers continue negotiations.
