“Alexander did not agree to organize a battle against Itauma”, — write: sport.ua
United world champion Oleksandr Usyk will not hold his next fights in the Riyadh Season events led by Turki Al-Sheikh.
According to the source, the refusal to partner with Turki Al-Sheikh was connected with Usyk’s desire for greater autonomy. The Saudis insisted on a match against 20-year-old promising boxer Moses Itauma, but Usyk’s team decided that this fight was not necessary.
Alexander’s next promoter should be an American company.
Earlier, Oleksandr Usyk gave Anthony Joshua a special gift from the Ukrainian military – a tactical watch made of a 105-mm shell casing.
