Sergejus Kharitonov prieš. Anton Vyazigin declared “Ne konkursas” Aleksander Doskalchuk crowned undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion

Aleksander Doskalchuk is now the undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion

SANKT PETERBURGAS, Rusija (Gegužė 25, 2018) – Last night’s SuperFight between Russian heavyweight star Sergejus Kharitonov and his main event challenger, Antonas Vjaziginas, was declared a “no contest” ir Aleksander Doskalchuk established himself as the undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion last night at M-1 Iššūkis 92 at M-1 Arena in Saint Petersburg, Rusija.

Kharitonov (27-6-0) originally was declared the winner by way of a second-round technical decision over his Russian opponent, Vyazigin (9-2-0), due to an illegal eye poke that prevented Kharitonov from continuing to fight.

The result was later changed to a “no contest” after the commission, assembled by M-1 Global president Vadimas Finkelchtein, reviewed the fight video and made the decision to change the result. A rematch will be scheduled for one of the next events, likely M-1 Iššūkis 95: Mūšis kalnuose, which will happen in July in Ingushetia, Rusija.

“A ‘no contest’ was the only possible decision in this situation,” Finkelchtein explained the change. “It was an accident and yesterday the judges made the decision according to the rules, giving the victory to Kharitonov, based on the scorecards. But this fight was an exception.”

“Changing the result to ‘no contest’ is the best choice,” Kharitonov agreed. “This was not the victory I wanted. I was sure the fight would be ruled as no contest, so I was surprised when the referee raised my hand. Anton did not want to poke me, so I think the decision now is fair. In the hospital I was told I’ve got an eye contusion and corneal abrasion. I hope to recover fast and get a rematch.”

Sergejus Kharitonov (R) didn’t agree with the original decision declaring him the winner.

“I think ‘no contest’ is a fair result,” Vyazigin added. “I was sure that after that poke, Sergei would take a break, and then we will go on. But the fight was stopped and he was declared the winner. Talking about corneal abrasion, I have no idea how it could happen. I always cut my nails before fights and the referee checks that, so that is weird. Žinoma, Noriu rematch, our story has not ended.”
