Light Heavyweights Dmitry Bivol (18-0, 11 KO’s), and smiling bearded Russian challenger Umar Salamov (28-1, 19 KO’s) met and cordially faced off during a presscon in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
Bivol looked serious and laser-focused while Salamov appeared relaxed and in a high spirits.
The two hard-hitting world-class fighters will collide for the WBA 175-pound Super Championship this Saturday, Dec 11.
Will the unbeaten 30-year-old Dmitry Bivol retain?
Or will the tough Umar Salamov, 27, become “the new...”??
The two heavy-punching warriors pack lethal explosive power in their bombs. . So, it is probable that their clash will end in a devastating KO... But who will stop who..??
May the Best Man Win!!
