The Irishman Michael Conlan, over whom Nikitin had a controversial win two years ago at the Olympics in Rio, congratulated the Russian, saying that they would soon meet.

"Yes, and this time we will not need the judges. I want a fight against Conlan. This is my career plan. For this I signed a contract with Top Rank," said Nikitin.

According to Carl Moretti of Top Rank, this rematch could have taken place " a year or so from now."
