“That’s it, must win. I like the pressure. I want to compete. I’m looking forward to it. I can’t really say much else. You’ve got to have a competitive spirit. I’m looking forward to it.”
It will be a great fight – Usyk
Usyk who dressed in traditional Ukrainian attire said he has learned a lot about the British boxer.
“We learned [about] each other in the first fight. He learned [about] me, I learned [about] him.
“I don’t think the last bout will be continued from round 13. We had enough time to study each other. This Saturday night will be a great, great fight.”
