IBA.PRO General Director Al Siesta: “It is possible to organize a fight between Gassiev and Itauma in Russia”
IBA.PRO General Director Al Siesta said that Murat Gassiev’s next fight could take place in Russia.
On Friday, Gassiev defeated Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev. 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. Gassiev won the World Boxing Association (WBA) regular world heavyweight title.
– Fight Moses Itauma – Murat Gassiev… Wow-wow, this is just a bomb theme! You can do a fight in Russia. After such a victory, we will gather Luzhniki, just as we will gather Wembley, of course.
— Does Itauma have priority over Usik?
— It’s a difficult question. Priority will be given to those who pay. This is our priority. Murat Gassiev, welcome to the stadium, welcome to the club of big guys, I greet you, my friend,” the Match TV correspondent reports Siesta’s words.
The 32-year-old Gassiev has 33 victories in the professional ring with two defeats. In three years in the professional ring, 20-year-old Itauma won 13 victories without suffering a single defeat.
The IBA.PRO 13 tournament was broadcast live on the Match TV and Match Fighter channels.
