In his last fight, the Russian knocked out Akhmad Mamadzhanov of Uzbekistan in December in the first round.
– On the night of January 25 at 4 a.m. Krasnoyarsk time, my wife gave birth to two daughters. So far I have only communicated via video link and seen pictures. They were born prematurely, initially the deadline was February 7, and that’s more or less the date of my fight. And now my wife has given birth, the girls are healthy, and I am very happy – apart from unnecessary worries, I am calmly preparing for battle. On the contrary, it only added positive emotions. We see each other via video call, but my wife is in the hospital and I have time to get out. So I won’t miss anything. In addition, my parents are there to help me. In general, everything is fine. I am happy, ”said Petrovsky, whose words “” were provided by the press service of the Russian Boxing Federation.
Tabula has 18 wins, six losses and one draw. Petrovsky also described his future rival.
– He is a strong enough boxer, even physical. We have the same dimensions. But I only managed to find his old fights. I think he changed his way of fighting a bit. We will impose our boxing. Like my trainer says, you don’t have to adapt to anyone. What is my way? (Laughs). She is different every time. I’m not going to reveal all the points, so he has a translator! One thing I can say is that I will face an experienced opponent. He has 25 professional fights, but that’s still saying something. I am preparing for this fight as seriously as possible,” Petrovsky added.
