— I’ll be back in April-June. I will fight the winner of the fight between Justin and Paddy,” Topuria said on social networks in a conversation with subscribers.
The fight between Gaethje and Pimblett will take place on January 24 and will headline the UFC 324 tournament in Las Vegas (USA). The 37-year-old Gaethje won 26 victories and suffered five defeats in fights under MMA rules. The 30-year-old Briton Pimblett has 23 wins and three defeats.

Derek Chisora He shared his thoughts on the future of the promising heavyweight Moses Itauma. The veteran British boxer believes that the main problem for the young boxer will be the lack of opponents.
“Moses’ biggest problem is that no one wants to fight him. There is no other southpaw in the heavyweight division who can hit like him.”
Tyson goes, I go, AJ goes, Dillian goes, Usyk goes. Who will stay? OK, it’s an interesting fight between Musa and Lawrence Okolie, but I’m not going to pay for it.
Moses vs Fabio is a great fight that will last four or five rounds. Moses and Agit Kabayel are a great fight for both. But that’s all.
He will carry the flag but no one will want to fight him because no one wants to get his ass kicked,” Chisora said.

On Friday, January 16, representatives of Australia met in the fight for the WBO International middleweight title (up to 72.6 kg) – Nikita Tszyu (11-0, 9 KOs) and Michael Zerafa (34–5, 22 knockouts).
In the first round, Zerafa successfully countered and defeated his opponent, who acted very carelessly and often forgot to defend, missing unnecessary blows.
Tszyu gradually took aim, seized the initiative and began to beat his compatriot both at long and close range. In one of the episodes, the boxers got into a fight.
Zerafa admitted that he was unable to continue the fight due to the interruption, which angered both his opponent and the fans who booed Michael. Nikita’s brother Tim Tszyu also did not stand aside and tried to sort out his relationship with Michael for a long time.
Considering that the collision was unintentional, the fight was declared invalid.
Nikita Tszyu (Australia) – Michael Zerafa (Australia) – NC 2
Zerafa says he can’t see after the head kick!
Stopped in the 3rd round, no contest between Tszyu and Zerafa in the main event.
