“Usman will defend his belt closer to the summer against Chablius. We need to look at this fight from a professional perspective. I’m not particularly happy to see this fight, but these are the realities of this business,” TASS quotes Magomedov.
Let us remind you that the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) suspended the Russian fighter for six months for violating anti-doping rules.
The athlete has 17 victories and not a single defeat. Another fight was declared invalid. Chablius has 24 wins and three losses.
It was previously reported that Nemkov officially vacated the Bellator light heavyweight title.
