Absolute world champion Alexander Usik immediately after the victorious battle against Murat Gassiev in the finals of the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) said he was ready to rise to heavyweight.

There the Ukrainian wants to fight with Tony Bellew.

"Thanks to those people who were with me in the training camp and helped me. All these people did their best to make me look like this. Also thanks to my family and wife.

Future plans? After this fight, we'll think everything over with the team. We need to think carefully. But I heard that Tony Bellew wants the winner of this tournament, and he is just boxing in heavyweight.

He will see me when I say? Now: Hey, my dear friend, I'm ready!.

If he does not want to go down in my weight, then I'll go up to him. I'll just eat an extra portion of pasta, and it will do me good, "said Usik.

Recall Alexander after 12 rounds of unanimous decision won Gassiev and became the absolute champion of the world. Also, the Ukrainian received the Cup of Mohammed Ali, the belt of The Ring and became the first winner of the tournament in the history of WBSS.
