– Joshua is looking for a rival. How do you think he will fight against?
– If he returns, he will go out to the ring against Mahmudov, but provided that the Russian overcomes me. If I win – Joshua will not fight me.
– Why?
– I don’t know. I was told about it. Mahmudov can get a chance, not me. I try to tell you what will happen next. Mahmudov is much more scary, he is a serious rival. Therefore, Joshua will fight with the Russian in the event of his victory, – said Allen.
Mahmudov confirmed Allen’s words and reported his conversation with Joshua, who is ready to go to the ring against the Russian boxer next year:
“We talked a little with Joshua. I offered him a fight, and he replied: “Well, we can arrange it next year. The fact is that there is a history in amateurs. Joshua lost to two soldiers at the European and World Championships, and I won them, ”Arslanbeck said.
