Boxer Batyrgaziyev: “I want to become the absolute world champion and not in one weight category”

Russian boxer Albert Batyrgaziev said he wants to become the absolute world champion.

Batyrgaziyev defeated the Irishman in a fight for the interim WBA super featherweight title. The fight took place in Serpukhov, Moscow Region, as part of the main card of the “Liga Stavok. IBA Champions Night” tournament.

— The fight went as we planned. I am familiar with this kind of work. I felt that I could finish my opponent, I took advantage of the moment. Yes, it didn’t work out right away, so I had to deliver pinpoint blows to the liver. I had to finish what I started. Everything worked out. I want to thank the Almighty, thank God for helping. I approached this fight without injuries. I am very glad that I was able to please my family, friends, and fans. I also want to thank my opponent, he was in good shape, but we found the right keys. Let’s move on! I need belts, I want to become the absolute world champion — and not in one weight category. I apologize for my impudence, but that’s how it is, — the Match TV correspondent quotes Batyrgaziyev as saying.
