Taras Kiyashko, coach of Russian UFC fighter Alexander Volkov, said that he will be his ward’s assistant in the fight against Surinamese Jairzinho Rozenstruik.

Recall that the duel between Volkov and Rozenstruik will make the headlines at the UFC Fight Night tournament in Las Vegas on Saturday, June 4th.

“Alexander is now in America. It feels great, everything is fine. Unfortunately, the coaches couldn’t fly there because we didn’t have a visa. In principle, when Alexander took this fight, he realized that he might have to fly alone.

Corners for Alexander will be Kenny Johnson from Black House gym and Tiki Ghosn, Cheick Congo’s trainer, and many other guys from the UFC. Tyki is a close friend of Dana White. In the past, he has competed in the UFC. It was Tiki who helped Alexander with his striking technique when I could not fly due to visa to Alexander’s first two fights at Bellator, ”Kiyashko said in an interview with SE.

Alexander Volkov fought 44 fights in mixed martial arts and won 34 victories.

In the fight against Usyk, Wilder is ready to do what Muhammad Ali once did

Former World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder He stated that he was confident about his victory against Alexander Usyk, the owner of the WBC, WBA and IBF championships.

The American believes that he can loudly declare himself and surprise the boxing world by drawing parallels with the legendary Muhammad Ali.

“This will be a big thing for me and people will be shocked. When Ali said he shook the world, he really did. I’m going to shake the world, too. And I’ll do it again,” Wilder said.

TYSON FURY: “There was a void after Klitschko. He can fill that void.”

Former two-time world champion Tyson Rage He believes that boxer Agit Kabayel will be the first boxing star in Germany after the Klitschko brothers, who usually hold their fights here.

“Germany has been missing a bright boxing star for a long time. In the early 2000s, the country experienced a real boom thanks to the Klitschko brothers, Arthur Abraham and Marco Huck. After the end of the Klitschko era, this scene was almost empty. Now there is a gap there, and in my opinion, Agit has the capacity to be the boxer to fill this gap,” said Tyson.

Previously, former world champion Tyson Fury explained why Alexander Usyk will not fight against interim WBC champion Agit Kabayel.
