Guskov wants Costa fight after Baranievski reportedly declines matchup

Bogdan Guskov has expressed interest in fighting Paulo Costa. According to Ivo Baranievski, he agreed to face Guskov but Bogdan declined the bout. Guskov's team, including Gor Azizyan, responded by calling out Baranievski, with Guskov stating he is ready to compete anytime as a "Russian guy who grew up in Uzbekistan." Azizyan suggested that Baranievski has become overconfident after victories over Sergey Kopylov and Azamat and needs to be brought down, adding that if Baranievski refuses the Guskov fight, he should stop talking about Russian fighters. The situation involves competing claims about who declined which fight, creating some confusion about the actual status of negotiations.
