Sulaiman on Usyk's Victory: "A Wonderful Moment for Ukrainian Boxing"

WBC President and advisor to Ready To Fight, Mauricio Sulaiman, commented on the upcoming fight for the undisputed world heavyweight title between titleholder Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs).

"Ukraine is going through so much right now. They have many good fighters. Bohachuk just won the WBC interim champion belt; he was recently in Mexico. Lomachenko is going to Australia to reclaim his title. Gvozdyk will fight Benavidez. The strength behind a country that has been invaded has a lot of energy, and victories in boxing elevate the spirits of its citizens, so Usyk's victory would be a great moment for Ukrainian boxing," Sulaiman said.

The fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is set for May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
