Undefeated featherweight contender Movsar Evloev has publicly stated his readiness to face the division`s reigning champion, Alexander Volkanovski. Evloev specifically mentioned Australia, Volkanovski`s home country, as a viable location for a potential showdown.
Discussing possible fight locations such as Abu Dhabi or the USA, Evloev emphasized that the venue is irrelevant to him. “There’s no difference. Even at his home [in Australia],” he asserted. He attributed his flexibility to not cutting a significant amount of weight, which facilitates a quick recovery. Furthermore, Evloev highlighted his lack of issues with acclimatization, despite having competed in various international locations like the UAE, China, and Las Vegas. While some fighters struggle with adapting to different climates, Evloev joked that his body might not even “understand what acclimatization is,” confidently concluding, “So any place works for me.”
