Bektemierov, rangirana WBA #12 i WBC #13, je co-promovisala Gary Shaw Productions i Savarese Promocije. Alexander Brand will be a major step up in class for Bektemierov, definitely his toughest fight as a professional. Training out of Houston, Teksas, Bektemierov, daje svoje misli o borbi protiv Marka na HBO, svoj prvi televizijski nastup.

“Protiv Alexander Brand, Ja ću biti u najboljem izdanju,” Said Medzhid “B-52” Bektemirov, koji je izbio tri njegove posljednje četiri protivnike. “I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to show the world that I’m a real contender. Gary Shaw and Lou Savarese did their part on getting me this fight on HBO, now it’s time to do mine. They won’t be disappointed. Everyone watching on television can expect to see a lot of bombs being thrown from me. I’m always going to be gunning for the knockout early, ali će biti spreman da ode na daljinu ako treba da.”

“Bektemierov je u teretani radi na svom zanat od svojoj zadnjoj borbi ranije ove godine,” rekao je Gary Shaw. “On je strpljivo čekao priliku da se bore na televiziji, and the fans watching on HBO are going to see B-52 drop some heavy artillery. This is a real fight with two top level contenders. Everyone should be tuning in, ovo će biti rata.”

“Gary i ja znam da je ovo veliki korak za Bektemierov, ali smatramo da on ima talenta i sposobnosti da postane svjetski prvak,” Lou Savarese rekao je. “The fight will be shown to millions watching on HBO and we feel our B-52 can come out on top. These are the type of fights that build the character of a champion.”
