— You should not be afraid of your opponent, but of the promoter. You have to try to win convincingly so as not to leave everything to the judges. Dmitry is a great boxer, he performs in foreign territories, in foreign shows and always wins. Everything can happen. I wish Dima victory, but I cannot give an objective forecast because I support him.
— Do you believe in the reality of the fight between Bivol and Beterbiev?
– No. They are two different television networks. And what is the opportunity? Where is the audience for this fight, other than Russia? I wouldn’t even recommend trying to achieve that,” Khryunov told .
