“When purchasing a fighter like Odilov, one cannot help but think about his participation in the Grand Prix” – Badaev
Aslanbek Badaev, vice-president of the ASA league, assessed the prospects of Faridun Odilov in the promotion.
— We signed Faridun Odilov before we announced the Grand Prix. This happened after the breakdown of his fight in Kazakhstan. I asked Shamil Zavurov: “Is Faridun Odilov a free agent?” Shamil said that we can negotiate. They didn’t last long, by the way. No one bargained, we offered decent money, which Faridun arranged. When purchasing such a fighter, one cannot help but think about his participation in the Grand Prix. Light heavyweight? I am skeptical about this, because Faridun was heavy, heavy.
Its skeleton and dimensions correspond to the average weight. But how often will he cope with the weight cut? There can be three months between fights. The important thing is how well Faridun will be able to drive weight. The decision has not yet been made. We don’t want to push and push him. But Faridun said, “Let the league decide what weight I should fight.” Yes, the league will decide, but we hope that Faridun will not have problems with cutting 84 kilograms, – Metaratings.ru quotes Badaev.

Oleksandr Usyk’s manager, Egis Klimas, believes that Tyson Fury would not initially fight against the Ukrainian, so the parties disagreed.
“I don’t want to go into details, but if a boxer doesn’t want to fight, he makes unrealistic demands and knows that a fight is not going to happen. They forgot that Usyk holds most of the heavyweight titles and Fury only has one.”
“They say Fury will be the face of this fight, but let’s see the pay-per-view sales for Fury – Chisora and Usyk – Chisora,” Klimas said.
The fight was previously scheduled to take place on April 29. If the parties do not agree, Usyk will have to make a mandatory defense against Daniel Dubois.

Shelly Finkel, who represents the interests of former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, reacted to the likely failure of the undisputed heavyweight title fight between Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk and Briton Tyson Fury.
“If the Oleksandr Usyk fight is present, Deontay Wilder gets it instantly,” Finkel said.
It has been learned that Usyk has closed the training camp to plan a mandatory defense of the titles previously held, namely WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO versions.

Sergei LapinManager and coaching team member of WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Alexander Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) trolled WBC belt holder Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) who didn’t want to disagree with the absolute championship to fight for.
Instead of that fight, Lapin offered Gypsy King another fight with heavyweight veteran Derek Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs).
“This is the fight Belly Fury fans have been waiting for. It will be a bomb, ”wrote Lapin, posting a poster of the Fury-Chisora 4 fight on his Instagram page.
Note that Derek Chisora has previously lost to Tyson Fury three times (points, refusals and technical knockouts).
It was previously reported that there would be no fight against Fury, Usyk closed the training camp.
