Play for Australia Timofey Tszyu not interested in a duel with a Russian Magomed Kurbanov given the geopolitical situation. This opinion was expressed in a conversation with german titov CEO of RCC Boxing Promotions, representing Kurbanov’s interests.
Kurbanov has 23 wins (13 by knockout). Last weekend, the Russian beat ex-Brazilian WBO champion Patrick Teixeira by unanimous decision. Kurbanov previously held No. 2 in the WBO junior middleweight rankings, but the Russian boxer has now been dropped from those lists. The WBO rankings are led by Tszyu Jr., who is expected to become the next opponent of undisputed middleweight champion American Jermell Charlo.
– Magomed just needs to stay an active boxer. In the current situation, he cannot box for titles, Titov told .
– That is, the desired fight with Timofey Tszyu is no longer relevant today?
– Tszyu is the official suitor, he will fight with Jermell Charlo. Why does Tim need it now (to fight with Kurbanov)? If we weren’t under restrictions today, we would have a big fight, we would have done something. And now … The task (for Kurbanov) is simple – to be active.
– There is a logical chain here: to stay active, you have to fight, and for that you need rivals. Who can become Kurbanov’s next opponent? Recently, another Russian first middleweight boxer, Sergei Vorobyov, spoke unflatteringly about Kurbanov.
– Who does he have on his list? So who did he win? No resounding victory. I don’t like the word “bags”. But his “opposition” was weak.
– In any case, will it be necessary to turn to the Russian market?
– Why? Patrick Teixeira has just arrived. We will take those who do not claim to fight for the title of world champions in the near future.
After defeating Teixeira, Kurbanov once again turned to Tszyu with a fight proposal.
