ACA Welterweight Champion Albert Toumenov told that his younger brother Bibert Toumenov has recovered from health issues and will continue to compete in the -66kg category.
On March 8 of this year, 27-year-old ASA League featherweight Bibert Tumenov was hospitalized at the Sklifosovsky Research Institute after being weighed before the ASA 172 tournament. The fighter managed to show the category limit of 66 kg on the scales, despite the fact that in the off-season the athlete’s weight reached 96 kg.
– Bibert is preparing now, he is waiting for the date of the fight and the opponent, he wants to return as soon as possible. In my opinion, he is the first contender for the belt, but the Grand Prix in his weight is still going on. Maybe in the meantime he will compete in the middleweight or lightweight category, to see how he feels. But he wants to fight soon and I think he will return in 66 kg. When there is a title fight there, he will be a contender, and I think he will agree. We met, he holds weight, weighs 82-83 kg, although he usually weighs less than 90 kg. I began to take it more seriously. – Albert Tumenov told .
