Albert has both regalia and extensive performing experience. There can therefore be no underestimate. I am completely focused and confident. As a rule, the battle plan is not revealed – I will only say that I am ready to surprise him. Albert Tumenov is good at stand-up, but so am I. I have an advantage in the fight. I’m going to put the pressure on in the fight, in the clinch, and push myself to the net. If I tell you the whole plan, it won’t be entirely correct on my part, he will be able to read it,” Gadjidaudov told .
