Vladimir Klitschko compared his opponent with Rocky Balboa

The champion of the Supereshweight World versions IBF, IBO, WBO and WBA Ukrainian Vladimir Klitschko believes that his rival is an obligatory contender for the WBO title Australian Alex Leapai - unusually motivated and will fight for the title to the last.

At the same time, the champion, whose style of battle often reproaches in the absence of entertainment, promised that this time the fans would not have to be bored.

“We see that Leapai is extremely motivated,” Klitschko quoted the Ukrainian portal “Sport Today” . “It will be a boring fight with action, very tense. Many did not expect that Alex would win Denis Boytsov. Alex is a bet, stiffness. I expect that he would try to complete the battle in the first rounds, selling force.”

“As a rule, for fighters such as Alex, such a fight is a chance of his whole life, and therefore he will try to be better than usual. I have been engaged in boxing for many years, and this activity is not boring to me. Every new exit to the ring brings new experience and I am not bored. Leapai - Australian Rocky Balboa,” the champion added.

Recall that the Klitschko -Leapai fight will take place on April 26 in German Oberhausen.
