“I finally get the chance to fight inoue,” he said Ring. “I worked very hard to be in this position, and I will show the best version of myself on Fight Night.
“I feel that I will be on my way to this fight in the best form of my career. I can hurt everyone with my punches, and I believe in my strength, and I can also deliver it.
“He is no exception. My job is to beat him, and I will do everything to do that. I have the whole package to compete at the highest levels in a department.
“I will prove the world that I belong, and I am the best. He is the full package and has all the skills, but so do I. The ring will show everything. It will never lie.”
“He was inviolable with the lower weights, and I think his struggles against Nery and Cardenas are due to the weight of 122 pounds,” Akhmadaliev added. “He fights harder and bigger boys. That gives him problems. He has to deal with more adversity at 122 pounds, and this is my weight class.
“If one of us is caught with a clean blow, the knockout will be there. If we trade and fight in an all-in fight, the knockout will certainly happen.”
