Mexican coach of Russian Murat Gassiev Abel Sanchez commented on the upcoming WBSS final against Alexander Usik.

At the same time, Sanchez said that he was sure that Alexander would give up the fight because of political reasons.

"I really thought so. I even thought that we would have to fight against someone else, not Usik. And then the name of Andrew Tabiti surfaced in the media. I was sure that this is an obligatory applicant in the line of IBF. And so until the last I thought that Usik was trying to find a political reason for refusing to fight.

I heard various rumors about the reluctance of Usik to fight Gassiev. Some people did not hear about them in the media. I hope, now nothing will prevent the battle with Anxious. He will not get any injuries and all that. And very soon we will get a tough fight at heavyweight, "- quotes Sanchez edition vringe. com.

Recall that the meeting between Usik and Gassiev will be held in Russia on July 21, 2018. At the same time the boxers have already agreed on a fight-revenge.
