Hey everyone!

There’s news that Murat Gassiev is scheduled for a major fight in Dubai this December. The opponent hasn’t been officially announced yet, but it’s expected that the announcement will come soon.

Who do you think could be his potential challenger? Any predictions or hopes for who he’ll face?

Let’s discuss!

Itauma?

My suspicion, too.

If they didn’t wanna fight Sanchez for an Illuminati I doubt they want gassiev.

I think it’s a good opponent for Moses, but probably too dangerouse a step up really.

I think gassiev vs Hunter Mabey? It’s a big fight and a nothing fight at the same time… can’t really see many other big names that would chose to fight gassiev right now..

Isn't he on the Manchester bill on December 13th?

Maybe Ajagba?

I was excited for Gassiev after he lost to Usyk. I thought he'd do big things at Heavyweight. It's been seven years since that loss & it's been very under-whelming so far.
