Shamil Gaziev confirmed he weighed 140 kilograms before starting his training camp. He has been on a strict diet for the past six weeks in preparation for his heavyweight bout. According to his social media post, Gaziev currently weighs 119 kilograms, well below the 120kg heavyweight limit, indicating he will have no issues making weight. This clarifies earlier concerns about his weight management, as he was referring to his off-season weight rather than his fighting condition.
