2019 European Games silver medalist, now welterweight boxer Khariton Agrba told that the victory Alberta Batyrgazieva on Irishman Johnno Carroll underlines the high level of the Russian boxer.
On Friday at the League of Betting tournament. IBA Night of Champions» Batyrgaziev proved to be stronger than Irishman Jono Carroll in the fight for the interim title of World Boxing Association (WBA) champion in the weight category up to 58.9 kg.
“I flew to Serpukhov specifically to support our guys, to cheer them on. I think the boxing evening turned out to be bright and spectacular. Russian boxers showed good quality boxing and became world champions, for which I congratulate them once again! The best thing is that this opportunity has presented itself here in Russia again. We can fight in Russia for the championship titles, here at home, to please the Russian fans. The guys got this opportunity, and it’s nice to watch it!”
I can also note that the organization was at the highest level, the tournament brought together many sports figures from different sports, world champions, Olympic champions. And we, as one family, supported our guys! The show was organized in the Colosseum, this is the first time I see this, as if I really came to a gladiatorial fight.
I really liked the fight of Albert Batyrgaziev, he had a very strong Irish opponent. From the first minutes of this fight there was a high tempo, the tension did not calm down until the very end of the fight, but Albert did a great job, as did his team. They managed not only to beat such a strong opponent, but also to finish him off. I think this says a lot and highlights Albert’s high level.
And of course, we were all waiting for the fight of Muslim Gadzhimagomedov. Muslim immediately felt his distance, imposed his fighting style, his own rhythm, and also won very clearly and confidently. This is a very good event, it is very important for us, athletes, to be able to fight for the championship belts in Russia and to delight our fans with such prestigious fights,” Agrba told .
