ASA Champion Magomedrasul Gasanov stated that he would still hold the championship belt as long as he played in the league.
On Sunday in Krasnodar, Gasanov defeated Ibragim Magomedov by technical knockout, defended his championship belt and reached the final of the ACA Middleweight Grand Prix. For the 29-year-old fighter, this victory was the 20th of his career with two defeats; he has held the belt since April 2021.
— I already feel warm support in Krasnodar. And about the fight itself… I was confronted by a person with whom we are friends, with whom we trained. I didn’t want to cause any injuries. As stupid as it sounds, when you punch and punch from above. I sincerely wanted neither me nor him to get hurt. But it’s sport, and these things happen. It also happens that friends meet.
And the fact that I won and he lost does not affect human qualities in any way, and he does not lose his masculine qualities. It’s just a sport.
Whether anyone likes it or not, you’ll have to put up with it – I’m a champ. As long as I’m in this league, I’m a champion. I know I’m a bit boring, but what can I do? Be patient. There is no other solution,” reports the correspondent, according to Gasanov’s words.
In the final of the ACA Grand Prix, Gasanov will face another Russian Shamil Abdullaev (15-1).
