“Kubrat could not counteract, there was the key to the falls. In the end it was boxing, Kubrat was beaten and lost the match. Joshua was what we saw and expected him to be. It’s just that Kubrat didn’t play well. If he had followed the technical prescriptions, it would have been much more difficult for Joshua, ”said Tervel.

The boxer revealed that the family had contracted the coronavirus, but this could not be an excuse for their loss. He declined to comment, but said everyone at the hospital where he volunteered was squeezing his brother’s thumbs.

“However, he is honored not to have canceled the match. Kubrat emerges in my eyes as a spirit, as a struggle. Perhaps he would have rejected the meeting instead,” shared Tervel.
