Davron Fayziev: Sergey Kovalev is a big name in professional boxing

Super middleweight prospect Bektemir Melikuziev will fight on January 30 with former three-times world champion Sergey Kovalev of Russia. Of course, not only Uzbekistan, but also Russia has different views on the battle with this serious opponent. We also provided feedback from Uzbek coaches and journalists. Continuing this, we bring to your attention the views of the well-known commentator Davron Fayziev.

- Sergey Kovalev is a "big name" in professional boxing. The famous boxer is a star not only in Russia but also in the world. That is why this fight will benefit Bektemir in any way. First and foremost it sees a very large audience. Second, the experience increases. Even if there is a difficult fight with Kovalev, it will be a big plus for Bektemir.

It's hard to guess now. Because I don’t know what Kovalev’s condition is like. The last time we saw him fight Canelo, he lost. But it didn’t look very zero. It's a big deal to go to the ring with Canelo now. In any case, one of the leaders of the Pound for Pound ... I want to say that the Russian boxer is still dangerous. But not Kovalev 5 years ago. Therefore, Melikuziev has a chance to win.

On top of that, Sergey may not be as prepared as he was for the fight against Canelo. If he does not take our compatriot seriously, Bektemir can punish him for it. If Bektemir wins by knockout, he will become the boxer who put an end to Kovalev's career. There is such an option. In any case, good luck and sincere fans. I think Bektemir Melikuziev has a bright future in the professional ring.
