The WBA and IBF first heavyweight world champion Murat (IRON) Gassiev cannot conduct other boxing matches before the WBSS final with Alexander Usik. This said in an interview with the news agency "Res" the coach of Gassiev Vitaly Slanov, commenting on the information in the media about a possible fight between the Ossetian boxer and the American Andrew Tabithi before meeting with Alexander Usik in the WBSS final.
"Murat has a contract with the organizers of the World Boxing Super Series. He cannot hold other fights before the finals - it's out of the question," Slanov said.
