‘The Machine’ won’t fight Aljamain Sterling

After the victory against Yan, Dvalishvili moved closer to the bantamweight title shot. However, the fighter from Ukraine refused to fight the ‘Funk Master’. Although he understood the reason why he was required to go against Sterling, he prioritized his friendship with ‘Funk Master’ over the title shot.

Dvalishvili said, “I understand business, everything, but Aljamain Sterling is my friend and my brother.” Additionally, he claimed that Sterling would move up in the weight division. Nevertheless, the fans await the fighter’s performance for the championship title.
