IBF cruiserweight champion Murat Gassiev after a knockout victory over Krzysztof Wlodarczyk admitted that his main goal is to unite all belts in his division. If everything goes according to plan, then an undefeated Russian will seriously consider the possibility of switching to heavyweights.
«First of all, I want to become an absolute champion in the cruiserweight division and after that I’ll go up to the heavyweights. Now my thoughts are connected only with WBSS tournament, and then we will see what happens. I can’t say that I will become the next Gennady Golovkin or Mike Tyson, I need to be Murat Gassiev and that’s all,» Gassiev said.
Gassiev acknowledged that he was interested in high-profile bouts with champions in heavyweight division like Anthony Joshua, Deontey Wilder and Joseph Parker.
