Former light heavyweight world champion Sergey Kovalev (35-5-1, 29 KOs) called Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) a very uncomfortable and smart boxer. Recalling a joint training session with our compatriot in 2016, the Russian emphasized that the Ukrainian has incredible skills.
Kovalev said this in an interview with the Seconds Out YouTube channel. The 41-year-old native of Kopeysk, who has been living in the United States for a long time, noted that Usyk not only moves quickly around the ring, but also feels the distance with his opponent and is technically very well prepared.
"We didn't spar. We didn't fight. We were just moving around the ring. You know, light punches and practicing, all that. But what I saw and what I felt after this work: Usyk is very uncomfortable. He has a very good sense of distance, great timing... He's great, really, very strong, both technically and tactically. Great thinking in the ring. At a very good level," Kovalev shared his opinion.
The Russian also revealed what Usyk said to his manager after his rematch victory over Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs).
As OBOZ.UA previously reported, manager Aegis Klimas told when Oleksandr Usyk plans to return to the ring. Artificial intelligence has already made a forecast for the Ukrainian's fight.
