The next time he fought at middleweight, 'Borz' knocked out Gerald Meerschaert, 17 seconds from the initial bell. Chimaev hasn't escaped Israel Adesanya's attention despite being more active at welterweight. 'Borz' has never been discreet about his ambitions of becoming a double-champion and has issued callouts to 'The Last Stylebender' in the past. Ahead of the toughest test of Chimaev's career against Gilbert Burns, Adesanya lauded the Chechen-born Swede as a "beast." However, till then, the middleweight champion considered 'Borz' a beast only at 170 lbs. Adesanya said on the Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson podcast: “Show me something like he’s never – his last fight was impressive, and I said I might not like you but if I’m impressed by what you do, I’ll give you props. He’s a beast, but he’s a beast at 170.” Watch the episode below: Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by C. Naik × Feedback Thank You!
