“When I already entered the ring at the end ... fireworks are being fired around, a lot of people, flashlights are shining.
I immediately told those around me: everything that is happening around now is what I dreamed of at the age of 17-18, when I was preparing for the European Championship.
I fell asleep and imagined a full stadium, flashlights, rays of light.
And now I looked at it with wide eyes.
This is a real deja vu, ”Usyk said at a press conference.
The fight lasted 12 rounds and ended with the victory of the Ukrainian by unanimous decision of the judges - 116: 112, 117: 114, 115: 113.
Earlier Usyk talked about the changes in life after the conquest of the belts.
