“We made an offer for a fight to Gervonta Davis, but he refused” – Batyrgaziev
Russian boxer Albert Batyrgaziev said that WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis refused to fight him.
On Thursday in Ufa at the “League of Betting” tournament. Night of IBA Champions” Bytargaziev defeated Albert Pagara from the Philippines by technical knockout in the fifth round and made the first defense of the IBA belt in the weight up to 60 kg. Batyrgaziev is the 2020 Olympic champion and interim WBA super featherweight champion.
— I already want to hold 12 rounds, because demand creates supply. If you are in more pain, we will do 12 rounds. I’m hinting at title fights, I’d like to have them more often. I would like to unite the belts, I feel that this goal is close. If earlier I didn’t talk about such names as Gervonta Davis, Shakur Stevenson… I thought it was too early, now is the time to start talking about it. We made an offer to Gervonta Davis, but he turned it down. He chose to fight Lamont Roach in December. Even if Roach loses the lightweight fight, he will have to defend against me within 120 days. I am a mandatory applicant.
And Pagara made it clear to me in the first round that he wanted to go the full distance, he was in no hurry. I immediately shut down, it was something new for me. I had to pull it apart, pull it apart so that it would begin to envelop itself. There were blows fired through the air, I would have liked to land more blows, then there would have been an early victory. But the opponent’s shoulder fell out, and, unfortunately, he was unable to continue the fight,” the Match TV correspondent reports the words of Batyrgaziev.

The American believes that he can loudly declare himself and surprise the boxing world by drawing parallels with the legendary Muhammad Ali.
“This will be a big thing for me and people will be shocked. When Ali said he shook the world, he really did. I’m going to shake the world, too. And I’ll do it again,” Wilder said.
