According to Lapin, “people can talk,” but those close to boxing know the value of preparation at such a level.<\/p>\n
We make decisions not for the sake of talking, we make them for the sake of results<\/p>\n

The WBO obliged Usyk to fight Joseph Parker. However, the Ukrainian appealed to the organization with a request for more time for negotiations, explaining this with a back injury.<\/p>\n
But last week, the WBO reacted to social media posts showing Usyk dancing and playing football. Now the organization demands that the boxer undergo a repeat examination.<\/p>\n
