“Look, for the sheer quality of the WBA heavyweight world championships, definitely, I think this is the strongest ever show we’ve done so far, to date,” Siesta, promoter and director general of the IBA, told BoxingScene. “We had some lightweight, I think super featherweight WBA world championships, unification with the IBA, but this one is humongous, man, honestly. Names like Gassiev, Pulev, unbelievable. Honestly, it’s an honour to promote these things. It’s like I’m living a dream.”
