Usyk and Gassiev touch down in Moscow

Murat Gassiev and Oleksandr Usyk arrived Monday evening in Moscow ahead of the World Boxing Super Series Cruiserweight Final on Saturday at the Olympic Sports Complex.

Oleksandr Usyk: “I am looking forward to the final. A final that will bring out the best in boxing. I can’t wait to see my fans in Moscow,” said Usyk.

Murat Gassiev: “I’m in Russia one week before the fight. I’ve never had problems with the acclimatization. Jet-lag is also not a problem. A good nap during the flight and I’m ready to box at the airport. As always I expect a tough fight. I have to be ready for everything and adjust.”

Tickets are still available through official channels for one of the most anticipated fights of the decade with 10,000 being sold up to now and 20,000 spectators expected. The winner of Usyk-Gassiev will be the first boxer ever to unify the cruiserweight titles in the four belt era.
