Shamil Gaziev confirms he weighed 140kg before training camp began

Heavyweight Shamil Gaziev has confirmed he weighed 140 kilograms before starting his training camp for an upcoming bout. According to a social media post, he has since dropped to 119 kilograms after spending the last six weeks on a strict diet. This confirms Gaziev's earlier statements about his weight outside of fight preparation. The Russian heavyweight emphasized that heavyweights do indeed cut weight and maintain discipline during training camps. With the weight now at 119 kilograms and the limit at 120 kilograms, Gaziev should have no issues making weight at the official weigh-in.
