Václav Sivák, one of the Czech Republic's best athletic representatives, has notched up another victory. During the Real Fight Arena (RFA) 14 gala evening in Košice, Slovakia, he unambiguously defeated German kickboxer Christopher Hopp, who proved to be a harsh opponent, on points. Sivák has therefore maintained his undefeated record with a 24th victory. He was the clear favorite ahead of the match, with 23 victories and zero defeats on his record, while his opponent’s score was 16-14.

Despite the clear dominance displayed by Sivák, Hopp resisted for an unexpectedly long time and didn’t give up even after being down for the count in the very first round. Referees ultimately awarded Sivák the victory on points, but he was not satisfied and acknowledged his opponent’s tenacity.

“Respect. He was a hard guy, as you all could see. He had nothing to lose,” Sivák, who is a native of Ostrava, said just after the match when expressing his gratitude to the RFA organization for giving him the chance to compete.

“I feel at home in the ring, I need to fight. Big thanks to the RFA for the chance,” said Sivák, who was bothered by the fact that he hadn’t ended the match with a knockout.

Boxing fans still do not lose hope for the fight between Tyson Fury and Alexander Usyk, which would give the absolute heavyweight champion.

Fury's promoter, Bob Arum, said a few days ago that their match could be arranged for December or early next year.

The King of the Roma has recently repeatedly repeated that his earnings are in the first place, and he repeated this in an interview with TV Fight Hub on the eve of the meeting against Francis Ngannou on October 28 in Saudi Arabia.

The Briton said he could consider fighting Usyk if his potential opponent accepted a lower fee.

"Was it ever my priority?" When did I say I wanted to be the absolute champion? Others have always dreamed of it," said Tyson Fury and continued:

“I'm dealing with Francis Ngannou. If that little sausage wants to fight for the titles and is willing to take a small percentage of the earnings, maybe we can work out a match. If he wants more money, then none of that. Usyk and his team retreated. We gave them a fight at Wembley and we moved on. "Now I'm waiting for the fight against Nganu, who is getting better."
