Russian promoter Kamil Gadzhiev does not believe in the fight between Alexander Shlemenko and Magomed Ismailov.
– Big fights are hard to do, it happens that they tell you about some kind of fight, and you have an intuition that it will not take place. I talked about it from the very beginning. I look at them and just do not see that they are going to fight. Well, somehow everything is good. They do not look like future rivals. Gadzhiev told Match TV.
Shlemenko and Ismailov announced the fight in December last year. In May 2022, the fighters signed a contract, naming the approximate date of August 27. A few weeks ago, Magomed Ismailov announced that he had undergone knee surgery and was actively recovering.
