Serhii Lapin, CEO of Ready to Fight and director of the team of undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, revealed his favorite fight in boxing history in an exclusive comment.

“Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier — the ‘Thrilla in Manila’. It was a war of wills, where two champions refused to quit for even a moment. A fight that showed what the true spirit of boxing is,” said Lapin.

The clash between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier took place on October 1, 1975, in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, serving as the dramatic finale to their trilogy. The bout ended after the 14th round with a victory for “The Greatest.”
