ASA Heavyweight Champion Yevgeny Goncharov said he wants to fight Cuban Yoel Romero and also believes his boxing is no worse than that of the interim UFC champion, the Briton Tom Aspinella .
On Friday, current ASA champion Goncharov defeated Adam Bogatyrev by unanimous decision in the heavyweight grand prix final. Romero, a 47-year-old former UFC fighter, has a 16-7 record in MMA. Aspinall, the 31-year-old interim UFC champion, has a 15-3 record.
— I heard that they signed Romero. Give me his head, please. Some people might criticize me, but I could fight Aspinall in the UFC. There is nothing supernatural about it. My boxing is not worse than his boxing. I think that no one in the world can compete with me, “the correspondent reports, reporting Goncharov’s words.
ASA President Mairbek Khasiev responded: “Has he (Romero) signed? If it happens, it will definitely happen. But it’s not even a 50/50 question.” Khasiev was also asked who the strongest Russian heavyweight was, and the league leader patted Goncharov on the shoulder.
“They say I’m lucky or old, but I do my job.” We enter the cage and I come out victorious. And then it starts: I was sick, I didn’t eat. We have to admit it. We have to admit who is number one here. Our game plan for the fight worked. You all saw what my vaccine did. He said I got a bad vaccine, but it was my vaccine that made this fight possible. I think I surpassed him in every aspect. I believe that no one in the world can compete with me. Someone can try something, but I can defeat anyone,” said Goncharov, 38.
