Russian heavyweight prospect Denis Boytsov says ‘dinosaur’ Vitali Klitschko will soon fall
Undefeated Russian heavyweight prospect Denis Boytsov (27-0, 22 KOs) will have the opportunity to return to the ring on November 13, following surgery on his right hand. He recently spoke about how the operation went, and shed thoughts on Vitali Klitschko’s
latest win over the courageous but outclassed Shannon Briggs.
"The operation went well, and the hand has become much better, but the doctor said he needed to do another operation," Boytsov confirmed. "But I have not decided whether I will do it or not. I won't decide on anything until after I test out the hand on
November 13."
Boytsov was asked about the effectiveness of his right following the operation, which has always been praised. As opposed to saying it has been jeopardized, Boytsov said that the operation seems to have improved the hand. "My coach Artur Grigorian said that
after the surgery, the hand became even stronger. In addition, during the restoration of the right, I improved the left."
Diagnosing WBC heavyweight titlist Vitali Klitschko’s latest performance, Boytsov was skeptical. He said that Klitschko chooses "...old opponents, who also suffer from asthma. […] The show itself, of course, was organized very well, but the boxing performance
of Klitschko was nothing much. I think that dinosaur Klitschko will soon fall."
Boytsov went as far as to say Klitschko’s style doesn’t resemble boxing. Instead, he trains exceptionally for fights and stays at a safe distance, a style which boxing insiders, let alone fans, have little patience for.
"He [Klitschko] just goes to the ring in good physical shape and uses great distance. In short, I do not like the way he boxes, although he was prepared by my former coach Fritz Zdunek, who always said that he is good and throws from the left side. But
he turns it once at a jump. He is not pushing with pelvis or leg, but just throwing in a shoving manner."
