Bare-knuckle fighter Timur Musaev compared the upcoming boxing match between Soslan Asbarov and Alexei Papin to a game of chess and admitted that the fight could end sooner.
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 number one and was the mandatory challenger for the cruiserweight title. An international master of sport in boxing, Asbarov, known for his bare-knuckle performances, has won four victories in four fights.
— In my opinion, Alexei Papin will have a slight advantage. He has more experience in professional boxing, although Asbarov has more experience in amateur boxing. But at this weight, anyone can punch. I think we are headed for a very interesting chess match between two top Russian boxers. I highly recommend watching this fight. In this confrontation, everyone can surprise and the fight can end earlier,” Musaev told .
