Dvalishvili predicts Topuria will knock out Tsarukyan, reflects on Yan loss

Merab Dvalishvili stated that while he likes Arman Tsarukyan as a fighter, Ilia Topuria will defeat him. The Georgian bantamweight champion believes Tsarukyan won't be able to take Topuria down and will be knocked out when he tries to box with him. Dvalishvili also reflected on his past loss to Petr Yan, saying he could have beaten everyone that day except Yan. He described Yan as having a special style and being exceptionally tough, noting that Yan's body kicks were extremely painful. Dvalishvili explained that after the second painful kick, he had to pressure forward because he couldn't escape the pain.
