Russian boxer Murat Gassiev, after winning the title fight over Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev, said that now he cannot choose his opponents.
The fight took place as part of the BETCITY IBA.PRO 13 tournament in Dubai and ended with Gassiev’s victory by knockout in the sixth round. The World Boxing Association (WBA) regular world heavyweight title was at stake.
– I’m happy. It was a tough training camp, so now I feel a little empty. Perhaps the realization will come later. It’s always nice to win early. Pulev has a very good boxing school, plus big sizes. But I listened to the angle’s clues. Every next fight will be the main one for me. This fight was important in its own way. I was up against a real heavyweight who held the championship belt. Additional responsibility was felt. There is no awareness of victory yet, but maybe tomorrow it will come.
— You are now a regular champion. How realistic do you see the chance to meet with full-fledged WBA champion Usyk?
“As I’ve always said, my job is just to train, to do my job.” And box with those they give me. If something depended on me… I could. But I’m not in a situation to choose opponents.
– You are now a champion, and theoretically you can choose.
“I don’t want to put myself in this position.” “You always want to be a contender,” a Match TV correspondent reports Gassiev’s words.
Alexander Usik holds the full WBA heavyweight title. In 2018, Usik defeated Gassiev by unanimous decision in the fight for the title of absolute world champion in the first heavyweight division.
32-year-old Gassiev has 33 victories in the professional ring with two defeats, 38-year-old Usik won 24 fights and did not suffer a single defeat.
The IBA.PRO 13 tournament was broadcast live on the Match TV and Match Fighter channels.

British organizer Eddie Hearn Reacts to speculation some boxing fans have that the fight will go ahead jake paul And Anthony Joshua it was fake.
“Even now people say, ‘Oh yeah, it was definitely a fixed battle.’ Today a guy commented on one of my posts: ‘Yes, it was definitely staged.’ I reply: ‘Do you realize you broke his jaw in two places?’
He may never be able to box again. Almost no one talks about this. People think it’s simple; They connect your jaw with wire, tighten a few screws, and move on. However, there were many fighters who broke their jaw and never entered the ring again.
And yes, “no, that moment might be real, but everything else…” – as if we were actors here. Everything was 100% real. There was no strategy, no agreement, no scenario.
Anthony wanted to get in as early and clean as possible. Unfortunately, the only time he actually hit cleanly was in the sixth inning. And unfortunately, this happened to Jake too.
We didn’t want this to happen to Jake. In the end, we wanted to win and end the war, but he accepted such dangers and took such risks on himself in the war. We hope he can recover,” Hearn said.
The video of the fight in which Anthony Joshua knocked out Jake Paul is available on our website.

British heavyweight Anthony Joshua Who could be the next opponent of the American blogger jake paulIf he decides to continue his career.
“Jake’s got spirit. He’s got guts. He did everything he could, and my hat’s off to him because, first of all, not a lot of fighters would get in the ring with me, but Jake did. Secondly, even after he got knocked down, he kept trying to get back up. I trust him.”
So America, I believe you have a guy who could potentially come back again and his heart is still in it. He should dust himself off, come back, and maybe sell this arena in 2026. Maybe against Gervonta Davis or Ryan Garcia,” Anthony said.
