On March 3 in Sochi, in a 6-round fight in the up to 54 kg weight category, Dvali will face multiple world championship medalist and 2017 Asian champion Zhasurbek Latipov of Uzbekistan.
“Performing in Sochi is a good opportunity to show yourself in professional boxing, without any risk, because in this format amateurs compete mainly against amateurs,” Dvali said in an interview with the press service of the Russian Boxing Federation. “I think I’m ready for my pro debut and six rounds.” I’m still not nervous about such a long distance. Here everything will be completely different: preparation, fighting style, style, etc. And this just piques my interest.
Champion of Russia 2022 and winner of the Cup of Russia 2024 Dmitry Dvali also noted that for now his priority is Olympic boxing.
– I want to win gold at the European Championship, I want to compete in both the Friendship Games and the World Championship. And not only to perform, but to win gold,” said the boxer.
Recall that the “IBA Night of Champions” in Sochi will be headlined by a 10-round fight for the title of contender for the IBA belt in the weight category up to 67 kg between the silver medalist of the European Games of 2019, the Russian Khariton Agrba and the Mexican José Miguel Borrego.
