– After the win over Linares, I felt like I was ready for fights with Devin Haney, Vasily Lomachenko and George Kambosos. I know Linares’ level of boxing. He literally recently had a good fight with Haney, knocked down the American. A stone fell from my soul after the victory over Linares. I feel at the top of my career, I’m ready to fight with anyone.
Ready to box with Haney now. My main focus is the belt. Now he has all the belts. You have to fight with someone from the “five”. Isaac Cruz recently won. I would like to meet him, and by beating him close the story of the candidate. My third fight is already a challenger, I’m one step away from the title. Let’s finally get this title,” Abdullayev said.
The day before, the Russian met the Mexican Giovanni Straffon and won by technical knockout. Now Abdullayev has 16 wins (10 by KO) and one loss.
