IBF junior middleweight titleholder Bakhram Murtazaliev shared his thoughts in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net regarding a potential match against the winner of the Israel Madrimov vs. Serhii Bohachuk fight.
The question is about the offer and whether it's something I need at this moment. They don’t have titles, and unification bouts are important to me. If those aren’t possible, I’ll consider any opponents, including Madrimov and Bohachuk. They still have to fight. After that, we'll see how the situation unfolds in our weight class.
For reference, the fight between Serhii Bohachuk and Israel Madrimov is set for December 21, 2024. Both athletes are coming off losses in their most recent bouts, with Madrimov losing to Terence Crawford and Bohachuk being defeated by Vergil Ortiz.
