Irishman Jono Carroll said that in preparation for the fight with the Russian Albert Batyrgaziev did not attach much importance to the opponent’s skills.
2020 Olympic champion Batyrgaziev and Carroll will challenge for the interim WBA super featherweight title on July 12 in Serpukhov.
– You have to enjoy life, it is a very precious thing. Every day is something to celebrate and that is why I enjoy life, enjoying every moment that precedes our fight. To be honest, I have never watched the Olympics. I have only seen one of Albert’s fights, I don’t even remember which one. My coach watches my opponents’ fights and tells me what to do. In the ring, it is me against myself. If I come out in the best shape, I don’t care about my opponent. I have no particular opinion about Albert Batyrgaziev. I repeat, I fight against myself first. I know that if I am in good shape, I can beat any opponent in the world. He is a good boxer. I like to test myself, I need opponents like him. “I respect him, but generally I don’t care about him,” a correspondent reported Carroll’s remarks.
