"This Is Crazy." American Prospect on Ukrainians

American heavyweight prospect Richard Torrez (10-0, 10 KOs) considers undisputed heavyweight champion and Ready To Fight co-founder Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) a role model.

"I'm not going to lie, Usyk is my role model. I’m fascinated by what he does, I’m fascinated by the whole Ukrainian team, to be honest.

Lomachenko, Usyk, and what these guys are doing – it’s crazy and incredible. I'm trying to blend a bit of that with the Mexican style," Torrez said.

In a preliminary bout, Torrez knocked out Brandon Moore in the 5th round. Oleksandr Usyk became the undisputed champion on the night of May 19 after defeating Tyson Fury.
