Khalidov’s manager: “Some took the victory over Kuzmin as a surprise, but we understand Murad’s level”
Murad Khalidov’s victory over Sergey Kuzmin may look unexpected, but the team knows the level of its boxer, the Russian’s manager Vitaly Tarasov told Match TV.
On Monday in St. Petersburg, in the main fight of the Betsity IBA.PRO 10 tournament, Khalidov knocked out Kuzmin in the seventh round.
— Someone took Murad’s victory as an upset. According to the quotes, he was generally an underdog. But we understand Khalidov’s level, and he is very, very good. This is what he demonstrated in the fight with such an eminent boxer. At 37 years old, Murad is already fighting his fifth fight. I fought twice in boxing with MMA gloves, once with bare fists, and twice in boxing.
Last time he passed an 18-year-old undefeated prospect, and now he took out a veteran of the sport. There is a boxing match on the horizon with Olympic champion Bakhodir Zhalolov, as well as a very high-profile fist fight. Most likely, Murad will close the year with a bare-knuckle fight. This will be something really big,” Tarasov told Match TV.
Kuzmin won 19 victories and suffered three defeats in the professional ring. Known for his bare-knuckle performances, Khalidov has 11 victories in 11 fights according to boxing rules.

CHISORA: “What kind of courage are we talking about? This boxer did not go to fight for his country.”
British heavyweight boxer Derek Chisora He spoke harshly about Jake Paul’s courage following his fight with Anthony Joshua. In a debate with heavyweight Vidall Riley, Chisora challenged Paul’s argument that he showed courage by entering the ring.
“What Paul did was not brave. He did not go to fight for his country. When he went to defend his state at the front, that is courage.”
What kind of courage is Paul talking about? He ran away in the first round and when he didn’t have enough strength to run, Joshua broke his jaw,” Chisora said.

Ukrainian boxer Alexander Usik said that he invested the money he earned from sports into business life.
“I have a small business right now. I have a company called Ready2Fight that doesn’t just work with boxing. What do we do? As promoters, we can guide the athlete – legal decisions, managerial decisions. Find trainers, doctors. So create a team. We also do things for sports and equipment.”
“We do some construction. I invest a little in hot construction. There is a glass processing plant. And of course, some valuable papers, special cars. I am a little more interested in the business world than, say, five years ago.”
“Because I understand that I earn money and they also have to work, they just buy themselves some diamonds, gold or something and get high. I’m not that kind of person, I don’t really like to show off,” Usik said.
