Former contender for the Bellator middleweight title Anatoly Tokov spoke about the cancellation of the fight with Magomed Ismailov, wishing his opponent health.
Ismailov and Tokov were supposed to fight on March 9 at the ASA 172 tournament. The fight was supposed to be a rematch after the fight that took place at the M-1 promotion tournament in 2013. As reported in the ASA League, Ismailov refused the fight due to injury.
“I don’t have any information about the new date of the fight. I don’t know anything yet. But it is clear that our fight attracts great interest from domestic fans. Yes, I myself would like to meet Magomed. It would be a really big confrontation. But nothing. Life goes on. This happens in every athlete’s career. I can only wish Magomed a speedy recovery and that he continues to delight Russian fans,” RT quotes Tokov as saying.
