Known for his aggressive style, the 26-year-old Bivol (9-0, 7 كوس, 2-0 WSB) was a decorated amateur and former Russian National Champion at 178 جنيه, who is now determined to make his mark in one of boxing’s toughest weight classes. كلاركسون (19-3, 12 كوس), سيدار هيل, تكساس, has won his last nine fights in a row and will make his third appearance onShoBox.
Bivol is managed by Los Angeles-based Vadim Konilov and trained by Gennady Mashianov. He has recently ended his sparring sessions at both Wild Card Gym and Wild Card West in Southern California where he has been training in the same camp with fellow countryman and 2010 European super heavyweight amateur gold medalist Sergey Kuzmin.
Here’s a quick question and answer session through an interpreter after visiting with Bivol at the apartment where he has been residing for the past five weeks in the heart of Hollywood.
مسألة: شامل, how would you assess how your training camp went?
الجاموس: “I think that training camp went very good. One of the reasons I decided to come to Southern California to train was that there are so many different sparring partners here. We had a very spirited camp and I consider myself ready for the fight.”
مسألة: What kind of fight do you expect from such a strong opponent as Samuel Clarkson?
الجاموس: “I’m expecting for him to get in the ring and push himself and come forward. I know he’ll come out aggressive and try to put the pressure on me. We’ll see.”
مسألة: You are young and have only nine pro fights, but are already fighting to defend an interim world title. Are you happy with the way your pro career has started?
الجاموس: “To be honest, I don’t really ever think about the belt and the interim title. For me the main WBA belt is the most important one and I want to stay at the top of the rankings to get it. As far as my career going too fast, I don’t believe so. I think I have more than enough experience in the amateurs and that I’ve aligned myself with the best trainer and sparring partners out there. So I’m happy where my career is at right now. I don’t think it’s progressing too fast.”
مسألة: There are some that are picking this fight as 50/50? Why do you think they are predicting this fight can go either way?"
الجاموس: “This is boxing and I think there are a lot of fights that are 50/50. قد يحدث أى شئ. You never know; upsets can happen at any time. For me this is step-up fight. Not only because of how good my opponent is, but also because of what it means to me. Winning this fight will open the door to many opportunities.”
مسألة: How important is it to put on a good show and put on an exciting performance fighting in your first main event on SHOWTIME?
الجاموس: “Sure everything is amped up a little bit more because it’s on SHOWTIME. But every time I step into the ring I want to put on a good show for the fans. هذه المرة, probably a little bit more so, but the most important thing is to get the win.”
مسألة: Is there one weaknesses you have worked on during this training camp?
الجاموس: “I don’t think there are any weaknesses, so it’s been like any other training camp. I can’t talk about what I’ve been preparing for from my opponent. You will have to wait and see it in the ring.”
مسألة: What do you think about training in Southern California?
الجاموس: “I love everything about it. The best thing though is the weather. In my hometown city in Russia, سانت. بطرسبرج, we don’t have weather like this. I like the atmosphere here and the people and where we train. I just like it all.”
مسألة: You have a large collection of amateur medals. Where are they displayed?
الجاموس: “I keep them all in one place in my parents’ home. We don’t think we deserve them all. It is something they are very proud of.”
مسألة: What do you think about the other top Russian boxers like Ruslan Provodnikov and Sergey Kovalev?
الجاموس: “I respect them all. There are some that are very famous in Russia, but also very famous here. And I see that. They are really good fighters and I’m ready to be at that same level, if not even at a higher level. I’m not in this sport just to stay in shape, I’m here to show and prove that I can be the best in the world.”
