Josh Kelly volunteers to end Turki Alalshikh’s search for Bakhram Murtazaliev’s opponent
Josh Kelly says he wants Turki Alalshikh to know he was open to fighting IBF’s junior mid -weight champion Bakhram Murtazaliev next.
Turki’s opponent’s search
He says he heard that Turki is having problems finding an opponent to Bakhram fighting, and is ready to step up to face it..Kelly (17-1-1, 9 kos) insisting that he would be unbeatable Murtazaliev school (23-0, 17 KOS).
“I think we will make him look silly,”Josh Kelly told the Circle magazine Youtube Channel, discusses what he would do for a 154-weight champion IBF Bakhram Murtazaliev. “I’ve seen him against Jake Culcay, and that was a bad night at the office.”
It would be a great deal of distress if Kelly defeated Murtazaliev, as he was considered to be the Boogeyman of Section 154 lbs after beating him in the third round of Tszyu’s Tim Tszyu in October last year in Orlando, Florida. If Kelly can get the fighting from Turki, that would be the ideal one for him to establish himself for life with a lot of money.
“I’m faster than him. I have a better IQ than him. I have everything to stand on his head 100%,” Kelly said about Bakhram. “I heard Turki Alalshikh say he can’t find nobody to fight Murtazaliev. Ask your guy to fight against me. I will fight against Murtazaliev no problem. This Tom and Jerry fighter will go in there and beat Murtazaliev. I’ll stand it on top of it. So let’s fight. “
Kelly’s next Fighting Money
That’s a smart move from Kelly to target fighting against Bakhram. If Turki is involved, he is likely to pay a much more money to Kelly than he would get fighting against Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis or 154-weight champion WBO Xander Zayas. Those are two of Kelly’s main options for his next battle.
If he can get a larger purse fighting against the next IBF Murtazaliev champion, it makes sense to go in that direction. Kelly’s manager Adam Booth has already revealed that Boots Ennis Champion Eddie Hearn has donated a Minimal Offer with a 24-hour deadline. The chances of that offer will be sweetened. It is pointless for Kelly to fight shoes unless Hearn wants to open his pig bank to pull $ 5 million out.
Fighting Ennis would be a difficult one for him. Against Zayas, Josh would have to deal with a lot of running and holding. If the fighting takes place in Puerto Rico, it may be necessary to hit Kelly to get the victory over Zayas. For the small purse probably Kelly would be offered to fight Xander, it would not be worth it.
“I heard Turki speak, saying he couldn’t find anyone to fight him, and he offered three opponents,” said Kelly. “Everyone is afraid (him). Listen, we put our name in for that, and we’ve heard nothing back. Put your money where your mouth isAnd I’m here. I’ll take Murtazaliev. Put your guy against me. Come on. I’m here. Make the fight. Some of my best performances have been against men who come forward like that, ”said Kelly.
Tom and Jerry fight
It would be interesting to see how Murtazaliev deals with Kelly’s skills and movement. It would certainly be Tom and Jerry’s battle, but it would give fans a glimpse of how Bakhram will deal with fighters like Zayas and Ennis.
