AMC Fight Nights Welterweight Champion Dmitry Bikrev told he was interested in a fight with Alexander Shlemenko not with Alexander Sarnavsky .
On Friday in Moscow, Sarnavsky, 35, defeated Magomed Sulumov by third-round submission at AMC Fight Nights 123 to win the lightweight title. For Sarnavsky, it was the first title fight won in 49 professional fights. After the fight, he told reporters that he was ready to fight for a second championship belt with Bikrev in the welterweight division. AMC Fights head Kamil Gadzhiev called the fight between Sarnavsky and Bikrev a good idea.
In April 2016, Sarnavsky defeated Bikrev early at Fight Nights. Since then, AMC Fight Nights welterweight champion Bikrev has not lost.
– I intend to fight with Shlemenko, after that we will watch. Kamil has known my location for about a year now. I didn’t even think about Sarnavsky and didn’t look in his direction! But it seems rather that Kamil does not like the conditions set by Shlemenko, and therefore it is more convenient to arrange a fight with Sarnavsky! That’s where this story came from after Sasha’s victory! – Bikrev told .
