“Batyrgaziev must become a champion, because he has everything for it” – Drozd

Former WBC cruiserweight champion Grigory Drozd told that a victory over Irishman Jono Carroll would bring the Russian boxer closer Alberta Batyrgazieva to the world title.

Batyrgaziev defeated Carroll for the interim WBA super featherweight title. The fight took place in Serpukhov, near Moscow, as part of the main card of the “Stavok League” tournament. IBA Champions Night.”

— At the beginning of the fight, things did not work out for Albert at all; the Irishman acted firmly and quickly. Moreover, in the first half of the fight, Carroll hit Batyrgaziev, Albert was in a state of evasion, but resisted. I would call this fight dramatic, but at the same time uncompromising and spectacular. Albert showed a fighting spirit and managed to turn the tide of the battle, even though the Irishman was advancing like a bull, striking from all angles. The main thing is that Batyrgaziev was able to regain his boxing and finished the fight with a knockout, namely a blow to the liver. I wish he had fewer such tests along the way.

Batyrgaziev is an Olympic champion and has already beaten great boxers in the professional ring. I think that a victory over Carroll will bring him closer to the professional world title. He must become one, because he has everything for it. Maybe Albert will have this chance in the next six months or next year,” Drozd told .

Batyrgaziev’s manager and trainer Eduard Kravtsov told that they are waiting for the WBA’s resolution to begin negotiations with the WBA’s full champion, American Lamont Roach.
