The top fighter of the Glory welterweight division, a graduate of the Poltava school of kickboxing and Muay Thai, Alim Nabiev commented on the news that he will have to fight for the organization's champion belt with Andy Semeleer. In particular, the "Professor" shared his opinion about the opponent, told where he would prepare for the fight.
“The opponent is pretty good. Very dangerous. Long, good arms. Dangerous, knockout hands. He won against famous athletes. Superbon has the same. He was the champion of the Enfusion promotion. In general, for a title fight, this is a very good opponent. One of those dangerous opponents in my career.
Would you like another opponent for the title shot? I don't care who I fight. Hamich or someone else. Everyone says that he (Hamicha - note) is number one in the ranking. Bates is second, I am third. I won against Bates. I think he's not even top 5. He is lower. Hamicha is a good fighter. But it hasn't been tested yet. He hasn't even fought opponents from the top 10, top 15 yet.
I don't care who the opponent is. The main thing is that the belt is at stake. I deserve this fight. I killed everyone who is in the top 5 who was the champion. I defeated them all. I am worthy to fight for the championship belt. I want, God forbid, to take him.
I will train in the Netherlands with Rico Verhoeven (Glory heavyweight champion - note) at the SuperPro Sports Center, with Dennis Crowel. Set to win, as always. Let's see. God forbid, this time the belt will be mine.
Recall that the confrontation between Nabiev and Semeleer will be held as part of the 82nd Glory tournament.
