This was announced by the general director of the company Alexander Krasyuk.

According to him, the team continues to fight for the possibility of organizing a duel in Ukraine, but economic realities dictate their terms to the organizers. The main problem is solvency in Ukraine, and it is an order of magnitude lower than in Latvia.

In addition, the 12-thousand closed arena in Ukraine can not be found.

At the same time, the manager of Usik, Egis Klimas, said that the likely location for the battle with Briedis is Latvia. In this case, a loud boxing evening for sure will be held in Riga in the multifunctional 10,000-square complex.

It was in this arena that Briedis in the quarter finals of the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) won the decision by Mike Perez.

The winner of the fight Usik (13-0, 11 KOs) - Briedis (24-0, 18 KOs) in the WBSS final will meet with Murat Gassiev or Junier Bortikos. This fight is likely to take place on January 20.

As previously reported in the "URA-Inform", the Ukrainian boxer world champion in the WBO heavyweight champion Alexander Usik said that he does not intend to emigrate to another country.
