One of Hasbulla’s rivals, Abdu Rozik has recently punched a cardboard cutout of the Russian as boxing fans have been calling for a fight between the pair.

Rozik told talkSPORT: “Always ready to fight Hasbulla. I’m ready always! I don’t like him.

“He’s like when people are not respectful. If he sees somebody, he punches him immediately. It’s not even, ‘Hi, how are you?’ If he sees you… he is coming and punching you.”
