Close to defining the next step in lightweight (up to 70,3kg.), Charles of the Bronx gave his opinion on a possible increase in Alexander Volkanovsky, who holds the featherweight belt (up to 65,7kg.). When asked about a possible dispute, the Brazilian tried to praise the Australian, but highlighted the difficulty of the category in which he stands out.
“He is a very tough guy, who is making history in the lower (featherweight) category. I think everyone who thinks about moving up to the top category (lightweight) has to think hard, because it's very difficult. But it would be a good fight. Why not make it happen? And the business”, stated Do Bronx in an interview with 'The Schmo'.
