Season one of the World Boxing Super Series is coming to a close, and the first of two championship finals is arguably the best boxing match of the year thus far. On Saturday, July 21st at the Olympic Stadium in Moscow, Russia, cruiserweights Oleksandr Usyk (14-0, 11 KOs) and Murat Gassiev (26-0-1 NC, 19 KOs) will compete for millions of dollars in prize money, the inaugural Muhammad Ali Trophy, and they’ll be unifying all four major title belts. Oh yes, this is a high stakes matchup.
Ukraine’s Usyk could potentially go on a run that is almost like the boxing equivalent of Shogun Rua’s 2005.
