Zakhozhy Agrees to Title Fight

Ukrainian coach and Ready To Fight ambassador Iegor Golub commented to the YouTube channel TYKE MYSON that his athlete, heavyweight representative Oleksandr Zakhozhy (18-0, 14 KOs), has agreed to the proposed title fight.

- It became known that Zakhozhy received an offer to box Shala for the EBU belt in April in Germany. Will Sasha accept this challenge or not?

- I don't know, I don't know about that. Seems like he wants to – he wrote to me, dropped the opponent's info, says he agreed. They are waiting for a response.

- And who will then prepare him? You are currently involved in Berinchyk's camp, how will this work?

- Haven't thought about it yet. Right now, I'm only thinking about Denys, Golub said.

Zakhozhy last boxed in March 2023, when he secured an early victory over Muhammad Ali Durmaz. Daniel Dubois initially declined the fight against Granit Shala, followed by Joe Joyce. The EBU European championship title will be on the line.
