Kazakhstan super middleweight Dauren Yeleusinov (10-1-1, 9 KOs) after an early victory in Nur-Sultan told bbabo.net about his plans and "revealed" his age. According to the professional boxer, he does not have time to swing and urgently needs to rise in the ranking.
35-year-old Yeleusinov in the Kazakh capital defeated Ali Mammadov (13-5, 3 KOs) from Azerbaijan by technical knockout and won the second fight in 2021.
- I would not say that the fight was difficult, - said the Kazakhstani. “I'm not in a position to choose. They give me and I beat. My position is to move up the rankings as quickly as possible. I have such an age ... I understand that I need to show myself in order to rise faster. And these are passing battles that you need to go through and win with dignity in order to reach the best.
- And put on the show.
- Yes. Show that you are in the class above them. And not so that the fight was equal with these guys ... It's also difficult. When the opponent does not match you, but you need to not only box with him, but also show that you are a class higher. It can be difficult sometimes. Sometimes it's even easier to beautifully box with someone who is on the same level with you. And here ... Everyone knows that you are a cut above and you need to be better, otherwise you will disappoint the fans. And this does not always work out ... The reasons may be different. There is also anxiety, which also acts as an additional barrier. And the rest you know - you can easily disassemble it.
- The deadlines are very tight. What is the maximum bar right now?
- Take the lead at 168 pounds as quickly as possible and beat the guys out of the top ten. The main star here is Canelo Alvarez, but there are other guys who may not have titles. Or lost them, like David Benavides, one of the best in the division. There are those who are catching up with the best. Young avenues, which are also very interesting.
- How many battles will there be in 2022?
- Three four. I think that after this fight I will jump up in the rankings and it will be easier to tighten me ... I will pull up to the top 100 and go out to the names.
- Dauren, how do you feel at 35. All the same, the plans are serious.
- My biological age and real, they are different. I passed special tests - they showed that I was 18 years old. This gives me more hope that I am saving my health. I have a resource. But more importantly, I believe in myself, and my body does not let me down.
