Boxer Kuzmin called Tetteh a dangerous opponent for Papin

Boxers from Africa are dangerous opponents, so IBF International champion and WBA Asia champion Alexey Papin should be well prepared for his fight with Ebenezer Tetteh, a Ghanaian boxer and WBA Africa and WBA Pan Africa champion, two-time world boxing champion Sergey Kuzmin said on February 12.

According to Kuzmin, Papin will be able to win the fight if he takes into account the lessons from his first fight in the super heavyweight category, in which he knocked out MMA fighter Greg Hardy. He also noted that such a category is full of surprises and surprises, because of the weight of athletes and the strength of their punches, just one successful hit can "turn off" the opponent.

Kuzmin noted that boxers from African countries want to break out of poverty, so they have a special desire to win.

"At the moment there are a lot of reigning champions from Africa, so I think all opponents from there are dangerous, because they want to, so to speak, get out and succeed. So you have to prepare," he said.

Kuzmin called Papin a fighter who is not afraid of life's challenges, wishing him victory and to finish the fight without injury.
