russian boxer Khariton Agrba said he was not very interested in a fight against fellow countryman Georgy Chelokhsaev.
On Friday in Chelyabinsk at the RCC Boxing Promotions tournament, Agrba defeated Panamanian Alexander Duran by tenth-round technical knockout and handed him the first early loss of his career. Now, the Agrba 2019 European Games silver medalist has 12 victories in the professional ring (8 by knockout).
– In general, I am satisfied with the fight, the opponent was very strong. No one could have come to this. There were pieces that shocked my opponent. I had blanks that I managed to complete. I’m happy, but there’s work to be done. We will strive to show the best boxing. Respectful towards the opponent, he gave good resistance.
– The first line of the ranking of the Russians at the first welterweight is Georgy Chelokhsaev (22-2-1).
– First, I was the first number in the ranking, Georgy just fought and we changed places. Now we will switch places again. Look, to be honest, I respect George, but I would be interested in a fight with him for the vacant title, which would lead me to my world championship belt. I can’t say that this fight interests me so much right now. If someone offers a good check, then why not”, quotes the correspondent of Agrba.
