Russian heavyweight Magomed Abdusalamov (18-0, 18KOs) held an eight round sparring session in his training camp for the next fight against Cuban Mike Perez, televised by HBO and taking place at The Theater in Madison Square Garden in New York on November 02. Trainer John David Jackson knows Mike Perez is a hard opponent, but he thinks Magomed has the power to win by KO.

"We are sure that in this fight, we are not going to hear the final bell, Abdusalamov is ready to get another victory by KO. This is the fight that will push Magomed close to a title shot and the entire team is working hard for November 2. Here at the Iron Mike Productions Gym we have all the support of CEO Garry Jonas and Mike Tyson and we want to say thanks to them."
