Russian fighter Sharaf Davlatmurodov declared that his compatriot Anatoly Tokov does not surpass him in any way.
Tokov and Davlatmurodov will have a rematch on April 19 in St. Petersburg at the ASA 174 tournament. Tokov has 29 wins and three losses. Davlatmurodov has 19 wins, four losses and one draw. These fighters met in October 2021 at the Bellator tournament, when Tokov won by split decision.
— In our fight in 2021, there was almost a draw, but the judges gave the victory to Tolya. A split decision by the judges is always controversial. For me, there is a sporting interest in the rematch with Tokov on April 19. I have a great desire to verify whether this was accidental or not.
During these two and a half years, I changed a lot, I grew psychologically, I played in America. I don’t see any aspect in which he is head and shoulders above me. Tolya is dangerous in all respects, versatile, hardworking, “physicist”, technically he is suitable for only one story – crush, crush and break, but I will have more creativity. I am sure that in the rematch we will have a colorful showdown. I’m younger than Magi Ismailov, who Tolya was preparing to fight, and I have more motivation. My motivation is to return the favor and take back my victory,” said Davlatmurodov, whose comments to were provided by the ASA press service.
