Russian heavyweight trainer Evgenia Goncharova Alexander Skaredin told that Muhumat Vakhaev could be a good opponent for a late 2022 fight.
Goncharov, 36, has 18 wins and three losses. In his last fight, the Russian knocked out American Tony Johnson in the first round of the ACA Tournament Trilogy. In 2019, these fighters met twice, first the fight was declared invalid, then Goncharov won by unanimous decision. In February 2020, Goncharov lost earlier than expected to Vakhaev. Vakhaev, 32, has 11 wins, five losses and a draw.
“We want to fight before the end of the year. Zhenya said this at a press conference. There are several options. Finally, we closed the trilogy with Tony Johnson. For me personally, the story with Adam Bogatyrev’s commentary was incomprehensible. But as far as I know, he got the fight for November, so it’s unlikely he can meet Evgeny. But Muhumat Vakhaev is quite suitable as a candidate for the final fight in 2022. We are open to it.
– Does everything suit Goncharov in the ASA league?
– Zhenya is certainly not happy with the fact that he fights very rarely. And for various reasons. There are injuries, cancellations of shows, etc. In fact, he fights once a year. And for heavyweights in their sportiest prime…
It is clear that together with the organization we are trying to solve this problem. But for now, we have what we have. This does not suit Zhenya or us. And so Goncharov also has a good contract. Overall, he has a good relationship with the ASA. You just need to perform more often.
