Khamzat has defeated every opponent he has faced within the first two rounds of their bout. We haven’t seen his true skill as a striker until now, but there’s no doubt he works hard on the striking end as well. ‘The Borz’ was recently seen training with Petr Yan at Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket, Thailand.
