Former champion of the ASV (later ASA) League Yusuf Raisov wished him health Mohammed Ismailov after the announcement of the cancellation of the fight with Anatoly Tokov at the ACA 172 tournament.
Ismailov and Tokov were supposed to fight on March 9 at the ASA 172 tournament. The fight was supposed to be a rematch after the fight that took place at the M-1 promotion tournament in 2013. As reported in the ASA League, Ismailov declined the fight due to injury.
— While you were recording the previous interview, a very important fight was canceled. Do you know which one?
– No. Now I learned from you, unfortunately. Muhammad’s fights were always interesting to watch. I wouldn’t rank this fight number one in anticipation, but it was one of the most anticipated fights. I’m never sad that a fight failed, which means there were reasons for it. The only thing that hurts is that Mohammed was hurt. I will definitely call him. I wish him a speedy recovery.
— You compete at lightweight. Are you interested in watching fights in other categories: middleweight, heavyweight?
“The ACA, I think, has some of the best heavyweights in the world, but I’m rarely interested in watching just one fight. That’s not to say the fights are bad, at ASA almost all the fights are interesting, but I don’t watch because I get too emotional if one of the guys I know fights. In this regard, I look more at the results,” Raisov told .
