Former world boxing champion, deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Nikolai Valuev told he would like to watch the rematch Murata Gassieva and Otto Wallin.
On Saturday in Belek, Turkey, Gassiev lost by split decision to Wallin in the fight for the WBA Inter Continental heavyweight title. After the fight, the Swede said he was not interested in a rematch.
– I would like to see the rematch, it’s interesting. Gassiev’s problem lies in the tactics he uses during the fight. If Murat prepares well – increases the force of the blow, speed, but does not change his tactics, then he still will not be able to win. Yes, this is a question for the coaching team,” Valuev told .
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.
