The Albert team Batyrgazieva I am not satisfied with the decision of the World Boxing Association (WBA) to allow American Lamont Roach to fight with his compatriot Gervonta Davis, the Russian boxer’s manager and trainer Eduard Kravtsov told .
On Monday, the WBA officially cleared Davis to defend his lightweight belt against WBA super featherweight titleholder Roach. Previously, the WBA issued a resolution requiring Roach to defend against interim champion Batyrgaziev, and the teams were unable to reach an agreement within the allotted time frame.
— The WBA resolution for the fight between Roach and Davis has also reached us. It states that within 120 days of this fight, Roach is obligated to fight alongside us. But here the question is open. Our attorney works with both the association and the Roach team. Of course, we have complaints, because it is not entirely clear whether our resolution will be overturned. On the one hand, we know that, unfortunately, the WBA does not always address these issues correctly. On the other hand, we were, to a certain extent, ready for this. If we do not reach an agreement with Roach and the WBA, the case will go to trial. And if we agree, we will notify you separately. Of course, we are not satisfied with this situation; we were now ready to fight for the WBA championship title. I think it was the right thing to do. But the WBA lives by its own unwritten laws,” Kravtsov told .
Batyrgaziev beat Ireland’s Jono Carroll in July for the WBA interim super featherweight title. The 2020 Olympic champion Batyrgaziev, who still holds the IBA belt in the weight category up to 60 kg, has 11 victories in the professional ring.
