Two-time Olympic boxing champion Oleg Saitov believes victory in the fight between Russians Alexei Papin and the exiled Asbarov will be won by whoever can take the initiative.
The fight in the first heavyweight division will take place on October 28 in Moscow. Papin has 15 victories and one defeat in the professional ring. Before the decision to exclude the Russians from the WBC rankings, he was ranked first and was the mandatory challenger for the cruiserweight belt. An international master of sport in boxing, Asbarov, known for his bare-knuckle performances, has won four victories in four fights.
“It’s a very interesting fight between two strong boxers. I just wonder who will win. More precisely, it is even more interesting to know who can impose their own fighting style. This will be decisive in this confrontation. Two tactics, two egos will meet. I am very interested to watch this meeting and I will try to do it live,” Saitov told .
