Russian boxer Muslim Gadjimagomedov will have no problem in a fight with China’s Zhang Zhaoxin, 2023 World Championship bronze medallist, 2024 European champion and IBA belt contender, he told Vsevolod Shumkov .
The fight between Gadzhimagomedov and Zhang Zhaoxin will take place on July 12 at the Betting League tournament “IBA Champions Night” in Serpukhov. Also as part of this show, Russian Olympic champion Albert Batyrgaziev 2020 will challenge for the interim WBA super featherweight title with Irishman Jono Carroll.
“I am looking forward to both of these fights, because my teammates are fighting for important titles! I saw Muslim’s opponent Zhang fight against Evgeny Romanov, and then he made a splash by knocking out Romanov. And Evgeniy clearly led this fight. Therefore, I can say that Zhang Zhaoxin is a very patient fighter with a powerful punch. At the same time, I think Muslim knows what to do with such an opponent and will win. As for Albert’s opponent, I can say that he has a lot of fights behind him, there are worthy opponents in his track record, and it will definitely not be easy for Batyrgaziev. I think the fight will last all the scheduled rounds, and Albert will win by unanimous decision. I am very glad that title fights will take place on the territory of our country, and I hope that in the future I will fight for the world title in Russia as well! – Shumkov told .
