“Abdullaev deserved to be a champion of IBF more than someone else” – Tishchenko about the fighting of a Russian against Muratai

Olympic boxing champion Yevgeny Tishchenko believes that Russian Zaur Abdullaev earned a victory over American Raymond Muratai in battle for the temporary ibf belt in lightweight.

Abdullaev will hold a duel against Muratai on May 10 in San Diego (USA) for the IBF temporary champion belt. Abdullaev (20–1, Ko 12) occupies the second line of the IBF rating in lightweight, Muratai (22–0, Ka 17) – the fourth, and the first position remains vacant. The full -fledged IBF champion is Vasily Lomachenko.

– Zaur is one of the highest -class boxers in our country. I really want him to be able to win the title. Although in fact the title is temporary, because Vasily Lomachenko officially did not end his career. But, most likely, Lomachenko will end his career, and the winner of the meeting will become a champion.

Abdullaev deserved to be a champion more than someone else. He has been going on to this for a long time. But Raymond Muratai is a difficult rival. I did not see his fights, but he goes without defeat. I wish Zauru good preparation, and so that everything conceived happened, – cites Tishchenko Metaratings.ru.
