– For Petya now any opponent will be difficult. But Yang was at such a level as this Yadong… Well, it’s not a question of his level. Now Peter needs to have a bloody nose to win. Yan needs to take this fight very seriously and not be weird in his preparation. So that, based on the results of this meeting, we begin to return to our former positions. Petya is a very talented fighter. I just went through a bad streak that needs to be overcome. Petya must approach the fight very responsibly, in which case he will not have any problems in this confrontation,” Bikrev told .
