“I think I am one of the most avoided fighters,” Alimkhanuly said. “And I believe that in the future, many will continue to walk away from fighting me. Many will not want to cross paths with me in the ring… I have been preparing for this fight for a very long time and learned a lot about my opponent. I learned about all the mistakes he makes in the ring. Find out what his weaknesses are. I will play with him and show my fighting “Kazakh-style”.
“I’m glad other fighters didn’t take this fight, because otherwise I wouldn’t be sitting here with the opportunity to box for an interim world title,” Dignam said. – As soon as the opportunity presented itself, I immediately agreed. I boxed to prove myself, tried to show myself, and now I will have such an opportunity, that’s why I grabbed it with both hands … I will create a big upset and get a lot of fans. I’m looking forward to it.”
