In an exclusive interview for META MMA, undefeated Russian middleweight boxer Magomed Kurbanov commented on a possible fight with another undefeated boxer, Australian Timofey Tszyu, and his attitude towards him.
I have a good attitude towards him. He's a good guy and a good boxer, but nobody cancelled the interests of the sports. I am certainly interested in such a fight and would like to have it in Russia, as Konstantin Tszyu is from Russia. His son bears his last name and is associated with him. In terms of a big fight, it should be Russia, but I'm ready to go to Australia as well. But, we'll see what will happen. I don't want to say anything about how this fight could go yet. But my team and I have ambitions too. I think that in Moscow, there will be both those who will come to support him and those who will support me.
