Russian boxer Magomed Kurbanov once again challenged the former WBO world champion competing for Australia in a fight Tim Tszyu .
On Saturday in Yekaterinburg, in the main fight of the RCC Boxing Promotions tournament, Kurbanov defeated his compatriot Aslanbek Kozaev by technical knockout in the sixth round. For Kurbanov, this fight was the first after losing the fight for the WBA junior middleweight world champion belt with Israil Madrimov of Uzbekistan in March this year. In professional boxing, Kurbanov has 26 victories and one defeat. Former WBO champion Tszyu lost to Bahram Murtazaliev and Sebastian Fundora in his last fights.
“We’re back, we’re not going to stop.” Just ahead. I’m ready for big fights, I didn’t say, “Give me easy fights.” I challenge Timofey Tszyu. It’s a good fight for Russia and for the world in general, for both of us. The winner will advance, the second will stay. All this is natural, natural selection, natural competition. There is no point in avoiding this fight,” reports the correspondent, according to Kurbanov’s words.
