American Lamont Roach, the World Boxing Association (WBA) super featherweight champion, had previously refused to meet him. Albert Batyrgaziev and come to Russia, but now he will no longer have such a choice, the manager and trainer of the Russian boxer told Edouard Kravtsov .
Batyrgaziev beat Irishman Jono Carroll last week for the interim WBA super featherweight title and is now set to face Roach.
“We expect a decision from the WBA in the very near future to fight Roach. Before this fight (with Carroll), we offered a fight to Lamont, but he refused. He then mentioned that he did not want to go to Russia for political reasons. Let’s see if he will avoid the fight now and what the answer will be. But now, much does not depend on him. If he avoids fighting Albert, he will lose the title. It’s simple. The only thing that can save him is if he agrees to fight for unification,” Kravtsov told .
Batyrgaziev has 11 wins in the professional ring and no losses. Roach has 25 wins, losses and one draw.
