Absolute World Champion in Heavyweight and the first holder of the Cup of Mohammed Ali Alexander Usik during a meeting with fans in Kiev thanked the fans for their support and shared his thoughts on motivation for future battles.

A promoter of the Ukrainian Alexander Krasyuk noted that his task is to fulfill the wishes of the boxer and told about the successes in this matter.

"I already said once when the belts are merged, I definitely want to conquer a new stage. In hevivayte another danger, another adrenaline, everything else, "- noted Usik.

"Yesterday, the WBO Council decided to assign Alexander the status of super champion WBO cruiserweight champion. And it is worth noting that the status of a super-champion in one weight class gives the right to qualify for the champion belt category above. There is the champion Anthony Joshua, so Alexander even in his weight class has the right to fight with Joshua.

It's no secret that we are negotiating with Eddie Hearn, the most progressive and interesting promoter, in my opinion. He is the promoter and Anthony Joshua, and Tony Bellew. Alexander after receiving the Cup of Mohammed Ali, publicly challenged Tony Bellew. The task of the promoter is to realize the wish of the boxer. We are currently working on this. Moreover, Bellew is also ready for this fight, "- said Krasiuk.

Recall, two weeks ago in Moscow, Alexander, in the finals of the World Boxing Super Series, won a unanimous decision over Murat Gassiev and won the title of the absolute champion in the heavyweight division, and also became the first holder of the Cup of Mohammed Ali.
