WBSS Final Dorticos vs Briedis 2020 09 26 Free Live

Yuniel Dorticos meets Mairis Briedis for the Muhammad Ali Trophy in the World Boxing Super Series final on Sept. 26.

Dorticos’ cruiserweight IBF belt is also on the line for the behind-closed-doors event in Munich, and the winner will be able to raise the Muhammad Ali Trophy, which has been won by other big names such as Callum Smith, Josh Taylor, Oleksandr Usyk and Naoya Inoue.

WBSS Final

Latvian fighter Briedis (26-1, 19 KOs), who is looking for another belt after losing the WBC and WBO championship in his only career defeat against Usyk, said: “I love the fact that it will be in Munich as it reminds me of every time I went to train with the Klitschko brothers in Germany and the flights were always via Munich.

“Those are some great memories of the time spent with them there!”

Briedis last fought in June 2019, when he defeated Krzysztof Glowacki at the Riga Arena in Latvia. His only defeat, against Usyk in January 2018, was four fights ago, so the 35-year-old will hope to have that memory out of his system.

Dorticos (24-1, 22 KOs) talked up the forthcoming event and was confident of victory, saying: “The KO Doctor is back and ready to prescribe another dose of pain and take the Muhammad Ali Trophy back to Miami!”

Dorticos is a year younger than his opponent at 34, and the Cuban-born fighter suffered his only career defeat at the start of February 2018 came against Murat Gassiev in Russia.

WBSS chief boxing officer Kalle Sauerland believes that the chance to win the Ali Trophy is a special one.

“On 26 September we will not only crown the best cruiserweight on the planet but also send a sign to the world that boxing is back with the first major transatlantic Championship bout between the undisputed number one and two in their division,” he explained.

“The final is not only about honour and glory, but cementing a legacy. The winner will become a member of an exclusive ‘Ali Trophy Winner Club’ that includes Usyk, Smith, Inoue and Taylor. It doesn’t get much bigger in boxing, and we expect Briedis and Dorticos to have an absolute barnstormer!”
