Russian lightweight Zaur Abdullayev, in a conversation with , called the fight between Australian George Kambosos and American Devin Haney boring, and also announced his desire to meet another boxer from the United States, Ryan Garcia.
Haney defeated Kambosos by unanimous decision last weekend in Australia to become the undisputed lightweight champion. Kambosos has the right to use the rematch option. Due to Abdullaev, 28, 15 wins and one loss. In his last fight, the Russian beat in February the ex-champion of the three weight categories, the Venezuelan Jorge Linares. Garcia, 23, has 22 pro wins.
“I watched snippets of this fight, I want to watch it in full,” Abdullayev told . – Although I understand that it turned out to be boring, the image throughout the fight was the same. But for Haney, the result was important. If I understand correctly, he boxed with minimal risk. To be honest, I wouldn’t want them to have a rematch. For me it is not profitable. Wait for them again. I don’t think many want to see replays of this meeting based on their first meeting. But Kambosos has the right to take revenge.
– In 2019, you suffered your only loss of your career just against Haney. Do you want a rematch?
– For me, the main thing is the championship belt. There is no pivotal moment in meeting Haney. Yes, I had a bad history with the preparation for the fight with Haney.
I want to box in America. I want big names: Ryan Garcia, Gervonta Davis, the same Haney, if they give me the chance. I would gladly fight one of them. My last fight was with Jorge Linares and I would like to continue like that without lowering the bar. So I want big fights. I understand that it is unlikely that I will get a title fight right away – it will depend on the work of the promoter. At the very least, I’d like to have a Candidates game against a well-known opponent. Honestly, I would love to beat Ryan Garcia.
