All four-major sanctioning body world title belts, מער די רינג magazine’s strap, will be on the line at the Olympic Sport Complex in Moscow, when WBC/WBO champion אָלעקסאַנדר “די קאץ” וסיק (14-0, 11 קאָס) and IBF/WBA title-holder מוראַט גאַססיעוו (26-0, 19 קאָס) square off for the inaugural Muhammad Ali Trophy, in addition to determining the first totally unified cruiserweight champion in the world in what is a legitimate Fight of the Year candidate.
The 31-year-old Usyk, די 2012 Olympic gold medalist from Ukraine, סטאַפּט מאַרקאָ כאַק אין די 10טה round of their WBSS quarterfinal match, and he won a 12-round unanimous decision over מאַיריס דיר אין די סעמיפיינאַלז. Russia-native Gassiev, 24, נאַקט אויס Krzysctof Wlodarczyk און יוניער דאָרטיקאָס, ריספּעקטיוולי, in the third and 12טה round of the quarterfinals and semifinals.
“ער (גאַססיעוו) is a strong guy,” Usyk said, “און איצט, thank God, Murat and I will fight for the Muhammad Ali Trophy and the absolute world champion’ טיטל.
“I feel excellent about (fighting in Russia) it. I am an athlete, אַ וואָריער. I do not care where I fight, I just want to fight. I know there will be support coming in from Ukraine which is great.
”
איך בין גרייט, my team is ready. When the strong guys meet, the fights are interesting! This is what is so great about this tournament. It is necessary for the sport. I have said it before and I will say it again: the fans should expect a beautiful final.
“The training camp before the final has been the same as before my other fights,” Gassiev commented. “My opponent is a southpaw, so I have had different sparring partners and you have to do things a bit different tactically against a southpaw. אָבער, besides that nothing has changed.
“I have been doing the same amount of running, physical exercising and sparring. I am not thinking about what he is doing. I need to be Murat Gassiev and do my best… I am only thinking about myself, my skills and my condition. אַז ס עס.
“I would fight anywhere in the world, but it is a plus for my mother and brother that they easily can watch the fight live. I am sure the final will be a very interesting and good fight for fans all over the world. מייַ דער בעסטער מענטש געווינען!”
