Novitsky: "I Am the Future of Ukrainian Heavyweight"

During the DAZN Boxing broadcast on March 4th, dedicated to the show on March 8th, the main event will feature a bout between former heavyweight (over 90,7 kg) champion Anthony Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs) and Francis Ngannou (0-1). Ukrainian Andriy Novitsky (9-0, 8 KOs), who will fight in the undercard that evening against 37-year-old American Juan Torres (11-5-1, 4 KOs), visited the studio and claimed that he is the future of the division.

— The arena in Saudi Arabia is very good, and I will show good boxing there.

— This must be a very exciting moment for you. You are a young heavyweight, and the division is looking for the stars of the future.

— Of course. I am the future. I am the Ukrainian future.

— You have a very strong right hand.

— Yes, I have a very-very good right punch.

— And that will be the punch to finish the fight on Friday?

— Absolutely. I've prepared well with my friend for the fight. You never know what will happen, but I will do my job and win by knockout.

The event will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

In February, Andriy knocked out Bobby O'Bannon (10-7, 10 KOs). For O'Bannon, it was his first fight since June 2013.
