So it will be a very serious revenge… If we manage to reach the final, then this confrontation will be very spectacular. I repeat, I would really like to take revenge for the defeat in 2021, – the fighter told .
In the event of victory over Palmer, Tumenov will meet his compatriot Kurban Taygibov in the semi-finals.
