Oleksandr Usykis your guy to bring heavyweight boxing into a entirely new degree, it was asserted at the pre-fight press conference for his Travels introduction.
The unbeaten cruiserweight champion will face Chazz Witherspoon on Sunday morning live on Sky Sports Action, prior to targeting the entire world names at his first playoff fight.
Out of Anthony Joshua hes the biggest star in boxing, promoter Eddie Hearn explained, before adding:There is not any barrier of terminology to genius.
The pressure is there to him to acquire and preserve that mandatory standing. Can he deal with the big guys? Can he compete in the heavyweight division?
Usyks director Egis Klimas stated:On Saturday if the bells ring, make a note of the very greatest heavyweight in the branch, Oleksandr Usyk. The baddest guy on the planet!
His co-promoter Alex Krassyuk added:We think Usyk is the man to deliver heavyweight boxing to a completely new level
He is live on Sky Sports Box Office. Usyk expects to battle the winner.
But veteran rival Witherspoon, who resigned from the week to replace scheduled rival Tyrone Spong, explained:I had been willing to step up and accept the battle. Where it makes sense to step up Im at a point in my career.
This really is a superb prospect. Opportunity knocks every once in a while and you need to open the door and sayWho is it?
Hes a skilful fighter, a terrific champion along with all the accolades in the world. I am looking to put on a good performance.
I wont act the fool but I am the guy wholl show up to moan. Im not fearful. You cant be scared. I am here, Im prepared to fight.
Im the bigger guy, Im willing to mix it up and anything can happen.
One time in my life, I left history. I was the only guy to have all stoppages at the Golden Gloves [amateur] tournament. Lightning has struck one time, also I am looking for it to strike twice.
