Russian fighter Alexander Emelianenko took part in the traditional poll on the topic “Best boxer of the year”, placing the Russian in first place Dmitri Bivol .
Last week, Bivol defended his WBA title for the 11th time and won the IBO light heavyweight belt, defeating Britain’s Lyndon Arthur by unanimous decision.
— I will put Bivol in first place. Bivol is very stable, he shows all the beauty of boxing and leaves his opponents no chance. In 2023, he didn’t notice Lyndon Arthur at all, total domination. With (Evgeny) Tishchenko I trained, then he won the WBA belt. I will put (Francis) in third place Ngannou “he jumped over his head in a fight with the best heavyweight on the planet,” Emelianenko told .
Ngannou made his professional boxing debut in October and lost to WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury by split decision.
