Asbarov exiled he needs to score a few more victories to be considered the best Russian heavyweight boxer. The former WBC cruiserweight champion shared this opinion with Grigory Drozd .
On Saturday, Asbarov defeated Russian Alexei Papin, who previously occupied the first line of the WBC rankings in the first heavyweight division, by unanimous decision. Asbarov has five victories in the professional ring, the boxer having already beaten Dmitry Kudryashov.
— Asbarov fought well. He structured the fight tactically in a completely correct way. Good game.
— Is it possible to call Asbarov the best heavyweight boxer in Russia?
— For greater objectivity, I would wait for the fight between Evgeniy Tishchenko and Alexei Egorov. We must not forget this confrontation either. Asbarov may have some difficulty with both. In addition, against Georgiy Kushitashvili (he competes for Georgia in Olympic boxing – ), Asbarov will have great difficulties. But at the moment, after the fight with Papin, we can say that Asbarov is one of Russia’s favorite boxers in the premier heavyweight division. But the word “best” needs confirmation. But a victory over Papin is a big step forward,” Drozd told .
