Russian Dmitry Bivol refused to fight with Ukrainian Usyk

Russian boxer Dmitry Bivol refused to fight with Ukrainian Alexander Usyk and added that he would not go to MMA. This was reported on Sunday, April 20, by the newspaper "Soviet Sport".

"No, I would not like to have an MMA fight, I am not particularly interested in it. I am a boxer and so far I am not interested in pop boxing, as it is often called, we still have a big sport. A fight with a Mustache? No, I don't think so, we're in different weight categories," Bivol said.

According to him, he is not going to retire from big-time sports yet.

The 34-year-old Bivol has 24 wins and one loss.

"Bivol cannot be defeated now, any opponent will be broken"
