But I was in the same situation during the fight with (Michel) Soro: there was a cut, and everything was covered in blood. It is very difficult to fight with such an injury, and this proves that Timofey is a true warrior. It’s like that. I think our fight is getting closer and closer and will take place very soon. We go through this: Sebastian lost his last fight, but here he won. This is boxing, and it happens in big fights. We have to accept this and move on,” Kurbanov told .
