“I feel at the peak of my career, I am ready to box with anyone” – Russian Abdullaev

Russian boxer Zaur Abdullaev, in an interview with Metaratings.ru, appreciated the importance of defeating Venezuelan Jorge Linares and named the name of the boxer, after defeating whom he will be able to get a championship fight with Devin Haney.

– After the victory over Linares, there was a feeling that I was ready for fights with Devin Haney, Vasily Lomachenko and George Kambosos. I know the boxing level of Linares. He just 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 peak of my career, I am ready to box with anyone.

Ready to box with Haney now. My main goal is the belt. Now he has all the belts. It is necessary to fight with someone from the “five”. Isaac Cruz recently won. I would like to meet him, and by defeating him close the history of the applicant. My third fight is already a challenger, I’m one step away from the title. Let’s finally get this title,” said Abdullayev.

The day before, the Russian met with the Mexican Giovanni Straffon and won by technical knockout. Now Abdullayev has 16 wins (10 by knockout) and one defeat.

Abdullayev became the mandatory contender for the WBC world champion belt. Haney currently owns all major world lightweight championship belts.
