Sports director of FC Ural Kirill Sidelnikov told that the promotion was still considering a rematch between the Russians Vyacheslav Vasilyevsky and Belarusian Vladislav Kovalev.
In March 2024, Vyacheslav Vasilevsky defeated Vladislav Kovalev, then the Belarusian appealed and the fight was declared invalid. The rematch between the fighters was scheduled for November 22, but a few weeks before the fight Vasilevsky was injured and did not fight; he was replaced by Valery Myasnikov, who lost to Kovalev by unanimous decision on Friday.
— Is a rematch between Vasilevsky and Kovalev still in the league’s plans?
“We are very interested in a rematch, because it will be an interesting matchup. If we manage to organize a tournament in Nizhny Novgorod next year, we will definitely make this fight.
— Do you have a favorite in this pair?
– I don’t know. Vlad opened up to me in new colors. This is a difficult question,” Sidelnikov told .
