Exactly at 5 pm on the scaffold the ring-anouncing David Diamante WBSS and began to make a real show. It has, as it should, with the necessary intonation, presented Gbadiev and Usik with all their insignia. It turned out to be no less impressive than the legendary Michael Buffer. Diamante's voice, of course, is very different, but certainly not weaker and the stamp is no less effective.
