WBC President: «It's Usyk's Time»

Mauricio Sulaiman, President of the World Boxing Council (WBC) and ambassador of Ready To Fight, highlighted the achievements of Ukrainian professional boxers ahead of the meeting between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.

«It means everything. It means that the world is fighting alongside Ukraine.

We have a great story unfolding. Bohachuk has already won a title, Lomachenko became a champion again last week. Now, it's Usyk's time. And in June, it will be Gvozdyk's time.

This is an incredible time for Ukrainian boxing. Imagine, living through all the horrors of war, boxing still brings glory to Ukrainians,» Sulaiman said.

Usyk and Fury will compete for the undisputed championship on May 18 in Saudi Arabia. The WBC title currently belongs to the Briton.
