This is the documentary that clip was taken from. Definitely worth watching if you are interesting in what goes on behind the scenes in boxing.



There are a lot of other great behind the scenes videos about all the WBSS matches at their YT channel.

... I'm sure that they will carefully check the ring...
... and, yes: there is too much money on the table...

Klimas "But the ones who are not cooperating is the Russian side. So Comosa is doing an excellent job, they're trying to help save the fight but the Russian's are not cooperating and they are not organizing." https://www.boxingscene.com/usyk-man...finals--129937

Now Usyk´s K2 promoter Krassyuk confirms that there is a possibility that the fight won't take place. From day to day it becomes more realistically that it won't take place https://sportarena.com/boxing/promou...nost-chto-boj/

Just found a good Ukrainian source and the reason why Team Usyk protests is because according to WBSS rules the ring size must be 5m x 5m but the Russian side wants a smaller ring with the size 3.5m x 3.5 m . Also not even 30% of the tickets are sold. Thats the another point of poor organization !

... it means a 12x12 ft ring -- which is not legal... the 14x14 ft (5x5 m) ring is the smallest accepted as standard... I can't believe that someone would even dare to mention such a thing...

(and the fact that the tickets aren't sold simply doesn't matter -- the money is there regardless the audience...)

Member of Team Usyk replied me in social networks and said that Usyk had his best training camp ever in his entire pro career. Plus Loma´s father secretly prepared him for the fight.There is no photo or video showing him but in one training footage you can clearly hear the voice of Loma´s father in the background.
