“I must admit that I would gladly take part in such a tournament if it were organized in Poland. I must also say that after the last fight, I already received offers to fight in the USA. We will analyze all this with my promoter Andrzej Wasilewski,” said Cherkashin.

A 27-year-old Ukrainian with a Polish passport is climbing higher and higher in the world rankings. The KnockOut Promotions boxer is already eligible for a championship belt in the IBF, WBA and WBC versions.

“I have not yet received an official offer to fight for the belt, but I personally admit that if it appeared, I would immediately agree. In my opinion, there is nothing to expect here, but it is clear that in this case I will discuss everything with the promoter. Andrzej Wasilewski always makes sure that everything is on time, and I trust him. But if such a proposal had been received, I would have agreed," Cherkashin added.

The 27-year-old boxer fought his last professional fight in April, defeating Elias Espadas in Las Vegas. This was Cherkashin's third professional performance before an American audience.
