“My training went well,” said Dychko. “It’s sometimes hard to find sparring partners at a level that will benefit me, ali osećam dobro. Ja sam u dobroj formi. My fights last one, dva, sometimes three rounds. I’ve never been tested over the distance. I hope some of these veterans can give me some rounds and let me test myself against them and maybe teach me a few things.”

 

 

 

The power-punching Dychko, who medalled at the 2012 i 2016 Summer Olympics and went 181-18 kao amater, is on the fast-track to join his former rivals at the top of the professional side of the sport.

 

 

 

“I’m happy with my progress. I’m in the building stage right now, so everything is fine. I’m waiting to join all my former amateur rivals at the top of the division,"Rekao je. “I want to be unified champion of the world and fight the best. Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder and some of the guys I already fought as an amateur, I would like to see them again. I think it will take me about another year and then I’ll be ready for the best in the world. One more year to get used to the professional part of the sport.”
