Dvalishvili commented on the defeat from Yan

The Georgian was defeated by the Russian by unanimous decision after five rounds.

"I tried to give a show and I lost. His plan was better. Congratulations to him, but I want a rematch. It's always hard for me to make weight because I use my own method, I don't trust nutritionists, but I don't want to make excuses. I tried to fight spectacularly, everyone is happy—that's what matters. I didn't want to wrestle, fighting is boring. I wanted to brawl with him, and today he was better," Merab said.
