Sparring partner of the absolute world heavyweight champion Alexander Usik Sergey Lapin assessed his future chances for heavyweight.

According to Lapin, in this weight category Sasha can achieve incredible success..

"Alexander is ready to make a coup in the heavyweight division, he has everything he needs for this: filigree technique, speed, strength and excellent footwork. This is exactly what these big guys are missing..

When Evander Holyfield boxed with Mike Tyson, they weighed the same way as our champion in training days now weighs.

And about the super heavyweight sparring in the camp, there were a lot of great guys, and each of them is good in its own way! Alexander basically fended off all the strong blows, delivering his own in response, "noted Lapin.

Recall that on the night of November 11, Usik in heavy weight knocked out the British Tony Belleu and retained all the belts.

Now Sasha and his team are planning to rise to heavyweight, although the boxer himself has so far refrained from making a final decision..
