Former absolute world boxing champion Constantin Tszyu believes that Murat Gassiev defeated Otto Wallin for the WBA Inter Continental title.
On Saturday in Belek, Turkey, Gassiev lost to Swede Wallin by split decision in the fight for the WBA Inter Continental heavyweight title. The fight lasted all 12 rounds.
“I don’t think it’s a defeat.” You saw the fight yourself. I think Murat won. The fight was very balanced. Murat is still young, of course he should continue to compete in the heavyweight division, Tszyu told .
Wallin took second place in the IBF rankings, which was vacant before the fight.
Former WBA and IBF cruiserweight champion Gassiev has 30 victories (23 by KO) and two defeats. The Russian has been competing in the heavyweight division since the fall of 2020 and has earned four debut victories during that time. In March this year, Gassiev received Armenian citizenship.
