The winner boxer talks to gabalafc.az after the combat:

"I prepared well to the fight. I was only thinking of this forum about for two months and working hard. I knew my opponent was strong and experienced to beat. I knew it for sure until a week before. 

As I said, the Polish boxer is well known in the senior arena having his 45 professional combats. I like to fight against a rival that I deserve to face. Thank God that I could come out as a winner of this fight". 

Mammadov gives up this great victory to his late friend Mubariz Najafov of FC Gabala, who recently died in his young age. The boxer adds:

"I should have come to this combat with my close friend Mubariz, but his death turned down our plan. Now I give this victory up to him. May his soul rest in peace".
