Tensions flared between Alexander Volkov and Sergei Pavlovich following their heavyweight bout on Saturday.
in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. When Volkov walked up to his opponent to shake hands after the fight, Pavlovich shoved his fellow countryman and former sparring partner. Volkov subsequently revealed that Pavlovich cursed at him, which was out of character for the heavyweight. Volkov believes it is Pavlovich who has a problem with him and should be the one to initiate a resolution.
Volkov vs. Pavlovich initially seemed unlikely to come to fruition because the former sparring partners did not appear to be willing to fight each other. However, the consensus between both parties appeared to be that one wouldn’t back down if the other accepted the matchup. While the booking was suddenly finalized, no one confirmed who accepted the fight first until they came head-to-head at the face-offs.
