VYKHRIST: “My plan worked. But I did not expect Macedon to fall so quickly.”
Ukrainian heavyweight Victor Vykhrist He won his 17th victory in the professional ring.
Boxer from Kremenchuk Viktor Vykhrist specially Spor.ua Commenting on the victory over Macedonian Todorce Tsvetkov in Germany, which saw him win the vacant WBO European championship belt:
“First of all, it needs to be clarified that this is not a WBO Intercontinental title fight as it is portrayed in the press. However, the victory now ensures that I am ranked higher than the WBO version. This is an important incentive.”
As for the fight in Flensburg, of course I didn’t think it would all end so quickly. After all, Tsvetkov is an experienced boxer with 11 wins by knockout. It was important to keep him at a distance and use his height advantage to make long-range attacks. This plan totally worked. After a series of blows to Balkan’s body, everything ended with a knockout in the 29th second.
What’s next? My promoters promise that the next fight will take place in March. “It’s possible to have a different version on the undercard of a title fight.”
It was previously reported that the famous Ukrainian boxer Viktor Vykhrist won the championship by defeating his opponent in 29 seconds.

Russian fighter Usman Nurmagomedov said that he does not expect surprises from his closest opponent Alfie Davis.
On February 7, at the PFL tournament in Dubai (UAE), league lightweight champion Nurmagomedov will defend his belt against Briton Davis. The Englishman won the PFL Grand Prix in the lightweight category in 2025.
“He’s not a particularly good striker, and he doesn’t have any other strengths.” Now he is talking after a series of victories, but people don’t know anything about him. Who did he defeat? Older fighters, champions of past years.
He has no plan against wrestling moves. He can run around the cage dodging grabs, but he doesn’t realize that the cage in Dubai is small. There’s no room to run,” Nurmagomedov was quoted as saying by MMA Junkie.
The 27-year-old undefeated fighter Nurmagomedov won 20 fights, one fight was declared invalid. Davis, 33, has a MMA record of 20 wins, five losses and one draw.

Britain’s Hamza Shiraz and Troy Williamson also found themselves busy; The former will fight for the WBO belt, while the latter is preparing for his rematch with Callum Simpson.
So it was the turn of Silyagin, who was ranked seventh but had an unexpected chance to replace Crawford. Of course, if he stops Iglesias.
Pavel Silyagin, ranked No. 7 by the IBF, has agreed to fight No. 1 Cuban knockout artist Osleys Iglesias for the vacant IBF super middleweight title. Canelo, Jaime Munguia and Hamzah Sheeraz, who is still trying to return from elbow surgery, have all opted out of facing Iglesias. Ours…
