[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The Russian Boxing Federation has continued their uneasy negotiations with respect to the venue and the location of the final round of the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) cruiserweight tournament, which features a showdown between Russia's Murat Gassiev and Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk for the WBC, WBO, WBA, IBF world titles.

And there I was convinced that Usyk's injury was a ploy to change venue to Russia...

I can't blame Usyk, I very much doubt Usyk would KO Gassiev, and you can say with 80% certainty that if the fight goes the distance in Russia it will be given to Gassiev so I don't blame Usyk.

Shame if it falls apart because they are trying to move the venue to Russia.

They should stick to the original neutral venue.

**** Russia

I saw when they met at the end of the Dorticos figbt, that some buttwipe had arranged to have Gassiev in a ***** t-shirt , to stand in front of Usyk who is a true patriot whose country has been invaded by the psycho little toerag.

It's completely unnecessary in sport and Gassiev , a proud Ossetian should have known better but athletes are not thinking people for the most part

I hope Usyk wins for Ukraine and as he seems an exceptional person, Gassiev is a beast though

the fight should take place at a neutral venue as originally planned.

Its simple!!!!

[fixpont]

even without the tension between these countries fair sportsmanship demands neutral country as venue location, im with Usyk

Although the Gassiev-Tabiti rumor is gaining some steam i certainly hope its not true.

Gassiev-Usyk has to happen somehow no matter when or where. If Usyk doesn't want to fight in Russia then have it in the second best place.
