“Agit Kabayel praised Alexander after his knockout in a duel with Daniel Duba”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
– We just saw Alexander Usik’s wonderful performance. A good battle on both sides, but Usik won him. How did you see this fight?
– Alexander’s very good performance. I said earlier – Daniel will come with pressure in the first 5-6 rounds. But Usik is quite different. He has boxing intelligence, technique, style. He constantly felt, touched.
I said after the first round that Usik will not fight longer than six rounds. And my coach said the same thing – and Usik stopped Duba.
– What else can Alexander Usik do? He seems to have won everyone. What else to prove to him? I know you are waiting, but what else should he prove in this sport? He is already on top.
– Yes, people wait for the pressure, big challenges, but I think when the fans will say, “We are ready for the battle of Usik,” – then this fight will be. I was among the fans – and I saw it. But I think I still need a lot of support to make a big battle.
– And what can Duba do? He is only 27.
– Yes, he is only 27 years old – everything is still ahead. I am sure he has great battles ahead. Maybe he will return home now, will be with his family, then rest for 2-3 weeks … and return. He is 27, almost 28. Why not? Everything is open to him, – Kabayel said.
Previously, Kabayel threatened to jump into the ring and challenge the Usik if he wins Duba. But the agit did not.
