The next opponents of the 2016 Olympic champion Evgeniya Tishchenko can become Tabiso Mchunu from South Africa or a Russian Alexei Papin . This was announced to by German Titov, CEO of RCC Boxing Promotions, which represents Tishchenko’s interests.
Last weekend, Tishchenko, who turned 31 on Friday, beat compatriot Kureish Sagov ahead of schedule in Yekaterinburg and claimed his tenth victory in the professional ring. Tishchenko has just one loss against former WBC heavyweight contender Mchunu in March 2021. Papin is ranked number one in the WBC cruiserweight rankings.
– Zhenya Tishchenko’s situation is even worse (than Magomed Kurbanov’s). There are even fewer rivals in the top heavyweight division. But there are also options here. For example, holding a rematch with Tabiso Mchunu, there is an option for a fight with Papin, Titov told .
– That is, there is a possibility of a meeting between Tishchenko and Papin?
– Sure. Why should I exclude this option? Papin cannot fight for the title of world champion either, he is a Russian boxer.
“Have you had any negotiations with Papin’s team?”
– We wanted Tishchenko to box on July 9 with Papin. But Alexey refused, as he had little time to prepare.
– But if I understand correctly, this fight can happen in the future.
– Yes it’s possible. Fall or winter.
– How do you see the possibility of a second fight between Tishchenko and Dmitry Kudryashov?
Why is this revenge necessary?
