Dmitry Kirillov, former IBF world super flyweight champion and the coach of Dmitry Bivol, discussed in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net when and against whom his fighter might compete next.
There is David Benavidez, but we prefer a rematch. We need to recover. Most likely, it will happen in the second half of next year or in June. Dmitry isn’t frustrated. He is disappointed and upset about the loss. He feels he could have done more.
