Boxer Sosulin: “It’s definitely not going to be an easy walk in the fight with Fortea. We will show a spectacle”

Russian boxer Pavel Sosulin is confident that the fight with Spaniard Jorge Fortea will not be easy or straightforward for him.

The fight between Sosulin and Fortea will take place on November 6 in Samara at the “IBA.PRO 12” tournament, which will be held as part of the “Russia – a Sports Power” forum. At stake in the 10-round fight will be the Russian’s IBA Intercontinental junior middleweight belt. 29-year-old Sosulin has 12 victories in the professional ring. He also owns the WBA Gold belt and ranks second in the WBA junior middleweight rankings. The 34-year-old Fortea has 25 wins, four losses and a draw.

“I’m very glad that I was given the opportunity to fight in November. I really wanted to have another fight to close out the year. Fortea is a very experienced opponent who has fought such renowned boxers as Bahram Murtazaliev and Xander Zayas. He’s already gone 12 rounds. We are taking this confrontation very seriously, as we do all fights in principle. It definitely won’t be an easy walk. Therefore, addressing the audience, I can say that there is a bright and exciting battle ahead. As usual. This fight is held within the framework of IBA.PRO and will go into a separate record. I will defend the intercontinental belt. This fight is another challenge for me. “I want to please the fans with a spectacular confrontation,” said Sosulin, whose words to Match TV were provided by the press service of the Russian Boxing Federation.
