Merab Dvalishvili predicts Illia Topuria will knock out Arman Tsarukyan

Merab Dvalishvili shared his prediction for a potential fight between Illia Topuria and Arman Tsarukyan, stating that Topuria would defeat Tsarukyan. Dvalishvili believes Tsarukyan will be unable to take Topuria down and will be knocked out when he tries to box with the Georgian champion. He also reflected on his own fight with Petr Yan, explaining that Yan was the only opponent he could not have beaten that night because of Yan's unique preparation and tough style. Dvalishvili described being hurt badly by Yan's body kicks, saying the pain was so intense in the second instance that he had to press forward rather than retreat. The bantamweight champion credited Yan's specific preparation and difficult fighting approach.
