ASA Vice President Aslanbek Badaev sees many nuances that could prevent the organization of a fight between Evgeny Goncharov and Soslan Asbarov.
Goncharov, after defeating Anton Vyazigin in the semifinals of the ASA Grand Prix, had a battle of views with boxer Asbarov, ready to fight according to MMA rules.
— Asbarov challenged us, we gave him the opportunity to have a staring duel with our champion. At the same time, we must be realistic and understand how possible this fight is. First, Goncharov is a champion and is competing in the Grand Prix. He faces the final battle. And until that passes, we can’t talk about their face-to-face duel. After the final, we’ll see.
Much will depend on Asbarov’s appetite. He cited amounts starting from 250 thousand dollars. And it’s serious money. And immediately come and give him this money… This is also very doubtful. Lots of points to discuss. Well, let’s not forget the status. Coming from another sport and immediately fighting with the champion. Based on sporting considerations, he hardly deserves it. Based on the media component, it is possible. Overall, it will be a good story that will attract attention. But you have to understand that the ASA is a sports organization. Considering all these points, you need to think about everything clearly, break it down and make a decision. The question remains open,” Badaev told .
All ASA tournaments are broadcast live on and Match! Fighter”. The next tournament (ACA 174) will take place on April 19 in St. Petersburg, and this show will be marked by the fight between the bantamweight champion Oleg Borisov and Pavel Vitruk.
