"I know most people didn't agree with my fight." Because I couldn't act the way I wanted in the ring either. Since the fight before me ended in four rounds, we were allocated approximately 15-20 minutes instead of the actual 36 minutes. Therefore, I didn't have time to fully perform warm-up and warm-up exercises. "I didn't have time to raise my pulse, so I couldn't fully demonstrate my capabilities in the fight," said the boxer.
At the same time, Murodjon noted that the preparation process went well:

According to Akhmadaliev, he, like the entire Uzbek people, believed in victory and very much wanted it:
- I tried my best. But victory and defeat are from Allah. "God willing, we will return stronger," he added.
As a reminder, the fight lasted 12 rounds, and the judges unanimously declared Naoya Inoue the winner. Thus, Murodjon Akhmadaliev suffered his second defeat in his professional career.
At the same time, his stubbornness and mental stability gave fans great hope. The boxer expressed confidence that he would return stronger on the path to new victories.
