Nikulin (8-0-2, KO 3) is ranked seventh in the standings.
—Are you interested in a fight with Timur Nikulin?
– Is he a boxer? He is in the top 10 because the list of boxers is colossally reduced. There are few boxers in Russian boxing. I’m there, I’m winning, it’s a fact. It’s twisted and crooked, but I win. Who did he defeat? If he faced even one of my opponents, what would he do? Let’s be objective, let’s remove all this media hype, all this pompous talk. And let’s take the dry residue. Yes, I demonstrate clumsy and crude boxing. But I’m a boxer, and that’s not the story. Who did he fight with…
— What about the history of the media?
– Well, what kind of media? So what will I tell my children? I will earn money, but why do I need it? For me, the most important thing is to show boxing and to evolve in my profession. There is money today, but tomorrow there will be none. But there is and will be recognition from people. And excuse me, get into this excrement… For what? It’s not specifically about Timur, I don’t want to offend him. But I just don’t want to be involved in this story. I have nothing personal with him, but he’s not a boxer. If he has a certain number of fights, then let’s talk and watch, ”Voitsekhovsky told .
