Ciryl Gane explains how he plans to solve Alex Pereira's power with movement, distance, and championship-level composure at the White House.

Technical Game Plan

Gane emphasizes footwork and feints — tools he believes neutralize Pereira's blitz entries. He has added grappling layers to keep the champion honest if the fight slows.

Training in France and the U.S. has sharpened his cardio for five rounds at heavyweight, a division where pace swings fights instantly.

Gane's kicking range is a key weapon at heavyweight.

Motivation in Washington

Gane calls LIBERTY 250 the most visible moment of his career. A win puts him in line for undisputed gold and validates years of technical refinement.

He expects Pereira to press forward — and says he is ready to make him miss, then answer with combinations that score with judges and fans alike.
