Secretary General of the Russian Boxing Federation Tatiana Kirienko congratulated the Russians Alberta Batyrgazieva And Muslima Gadjimagomedova with victories in WBA championship fights.
Friday at the League of Betting tournament. IBA Night of Champions” Batyrgaziev was stronger than Irish Jono Carroll in the fight for the interim super featherweight title of the World Boxing Association (WBA). Gadzhimagomedov defeated Chinese Zhang Zhaoxin by technical knockout and won the WBA bridgeweight world title.
— I sincerely congratulate Muslim and Albert on their brilliant victories in their championship fights. I am always impressed by their performances – I am sincerely proud of our boxers. I confess that I had no doubts about the victory of Muslim and Albert. Although Batyrgaziev made me nervous at some moments at the beginning of the fight… But Albert is a real champion with a champion character. As the fight progressed, thanks to his boxing IQ, he gradually took the initiative in hand and methodically crushed his opponent round after round. We must also pay tribute to the Irish athlete, who resisted with dignity and, together with Albert, demonstrated a spectacular fight. Batyrgaziev has gained enormous experience, necessary for his future achievements. Albert is an ambitious athlete, and I am sure that in the near future he will want to get rid of the “temporary” prefix on his title.
For Muslim, the fight was much easier – the difference in class was visible from the first seconds. As a result, Gadzhimagomedov dominantly defeated his opponent, who at the time of the fight occupied the first line of the WBA ranking. A magnificent victory for Muslim Gadzhimagomedov. Congratulations! I am very pleased that Russia now has four current professional boxing champions: Gadzhimagomedov joined Artur Beterbiev, Dmitry Bivol and Bakhram Murtazaliev. I am sure that this list will only grow in the very near future. Russia occupies a leading position in world boxing, which is clearly confirmed by the results of Olympic and professional boxing. I would also like to draw your attention once again to the fact that the WBA has allowed the championship fight on Russian territory. Other organizations will also follow. Boxing must and will unite! – said Kirienko, whose words to were provided by the press service of the Russian Boxing Federation.
