“I believe that it’ll be the most difficult fight in Vitali’s career. I personally talked to him about it. Briggs is big and he hits hard. Vitali can’t relax as he allowed himself to do in bouts against Sosnowski, Samuel Peter, and etc. Briggs will be very dangerous in the first three rounds,” Steward told Sportbox.ru.
