“The meeting with Pulev is a good fight for Gassiev to return to the top” – Murtazaliev
Russian Murat Gassiev has a very good chance of defeating Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev with the right attitude. IBF junior middleweight champion Bakhram Murtazaliev shared this opinion with Match TV.
On December 12, in the main fight of the IBA.PRO 13 tournament in Dubai, Gassiev will meet with the regular WBA heavyweight champion Pulev. Since 2020, Gassiev has been competing in the heavy weight category. In the professional ring, the 31-year-old Russian won 32 victories and suffered two defeats. Gassiev previously held the WBA and IBF cruiserweight titles. He fought his last fight at the end of August in the USA, defeating American Jeremy Milton. The 44-year-old Pulev has 32 wins and three losses. The Bulgarian defeated Manuel Charra at the end of 2024 and won the regular WBA belt.
— Murat and I have known each other for a long time. Also in Chelyabinsk, around 2012 or 2013. This is a very good boxer. His entire career stalled after injuries after the fight with Usyk. He underwent several surgeries and had relapses. And so he is a very good, strong, strong and fast-hitting athlete. If he approaches the fight with Pulev with a cool head, then he shouldn’t have any problems. Pulev is an experienced and dangerous boxer, but he is 44 years old. I think this is a good fight for Murat to return to the top, to become a champion. This will be a very serious result,” Murtazaliev told Match TV.

Lennox LEWIS: “Still trying to get used to Usyk. This won’t work”
Legendary British boxer Lennox Lewis He expressed his opinion that Anthony Joshua is ready for a possible fight with Tyson Fury. The former absolute world champion believes Joshua should have another interim fight before such a mega fight.
“Did Joshua show off enough to beat Fury? With a performance like that, no. It won’t work against Tyson. But at least he got into a rhythm. This was his first fight with a new team, he’s still getting used to Usyk and his team,” Lewis explained.

The next fight was originally scheduled for February 14, but with the date only seven weeks away, it is important to evaluate Anthony’s fitness. Hearn explained that there are actually seven weeks left now: “The fight could be moved to mid or late March if necessary.”
“Rico Verhoeven? This name has been mentioned a few times before. We are considering various options. We need a fight that will prepare us to face Tyson Fury and the way he fights. There are enough offers right now,” Hearn added.
Let us remind you that Joshua previously won by knocking out Jake Paul in the sixth round.

Derek CHISORA: “He didn’t want to fight. I’ll suck your strength, I’ll knock you down”
british boxer Derek Chisora He shared his assessment of the knockout that ended Anthony Joshua’s fight against Jake Paul.
“This should have happened a long time ago. Joshua did what he had to do. Forget everything else. I was among those who said that if the fight dragged on there would be questions. But the ring was too big. Jake didn’t want to fight – he tried to fight. Joshua said everything right: I’m going to suck your strength and then I’m going to knock you out… He broke his jaw,” Chisora said.
