Elia Toporia, the unlocked UFC champion, has once again expressed his desire to cross into professional boxing and confront the winner of the upcoming battle between the Mexican star Sewilo “Canilo” and Variz and Tirins Croford.
Toporia said his goal is to face Flevares, who considered him a role model for years. The Spanish fighter-Jerjian hopes that UFC will be allowed to follow up on the footsteps of Conor McGregor, who fought and lost to Floyd Mayweather Junior in August 2017 while he was under a contract with mixed martial arts promoters.
Toporia said he is ready to compete in the boxing ring and that this is the ideal opportunity to do this.
“Why don’t I? I like to win against the winner of Canelo and Crawford. But if I could choose, I want Canelo. I have been a boly for many years and I feel I can do it,” Toporia told reporters. “Let’s do that now is the best time.”
Toporia, who came out of Charles Oliveira in June to win the second UFC belt, has the best moment in his career. He has produced characters like Max Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski, as he created himself as one of the largest stars in mixed martial arts. However, he now turns his attention into boxing and wants to prove that he can also excel in the ring.
His prediction of fighting between Flevares and Croford, which will be held on September 13 in Las Vegas, is that the Mexican will win.
Toporia said: “Canilo, it is clear that it is a role model for me. I want my chance against him,” Toporia said. “I feel I can hit him. If I have the opportunity to fight him, why not? Come on, [Saudi Arabian promoter] Turkish [Alalshikh]Give me the opportunity to win the title. “
For his part, Kanilo responded with respect when asked about Toporia, but he did not commit to a fight.
“I did not see him fighting a complete battle, but I love him a lot, and I respect him, and I like him. We will see. First, things first, I am now focusing on what I have,”
