Khabib Nurmagomedov

The Russian Boxing Federation will issue licenses to UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and Floyd Mayweather if they agree to fight in Russia. This was reported by the Secretary General of the organization Umar Kremlev. "We will issue licenses to both athletes," said Kremlev.

Earlier, the Russian Boxing Federation proposed to stage this fight in 2019 at the Luzhniki stadium.

Nurmagomedov said earlier that he would not mind to fight Mayweather. The American, in turn, also agreed.
