Gassiev to debut in heavyweight in June?

Former unified cruiserweight champion Murat Gassiev of Russia may make his debut in the heavyweight division in June. This was announced by Vitaly Slanov the coach of the athlete.

“Now Murat is training at home. But after a while he flies to the USA, to the camp in Big Bear. He now weighs at about 100 kg, trying not to bulk up to much. I think he will be ready for the debut at the heavyweight title in June,” said Slanov.

In the summer of 2018, Gassiev lost to Oleksander Usyk, losing his WBA and IBF cruiserweight titles.
