Russian boxer Umar Salamov believes that in the future he will definitely fight with his compatriot Alexey Egorov .
On June 7 in Moscow, Egorov will fight for the WBA International belt with American Brandon Glanton. The 32-year-old boxer from Obninsk has 12 victories with only one defeat in November 2022 in France against Arsen Gulamiryan in a fight for the WBA belt.
On June 10, Salamov will also meet Nigerian Obinna Joseph Matthew in Moscow for the WBA Gold title. Salamov, 29, has 28 wins and two losses. In December 2021, he fought Dmitry Bivol for the WBA light heavyweight belt, but lost by unanimous decision. Since 2024, Salamov has competed in the premier heavyweight division.
— Alexey Egorov is a very serious boxer, and we will fight with him several days apart. He will fight for the WBA International belt and I will fight for WBA Gold. But according to this version, there should be only one full-fledged champion, so perhaps our paths will cross in the future. It would be an honor for me to fight him,” Salamov told .
