Khamzat Chimaev Calls for Alex Pereira Fight, Eyes Second Belt at Light Heavyweight

Chimaev says he’s ready to move up and challenge Pereira after dominating Du Plessis for the middleweight title in August. “I’d love to chase that second belt at light heavyweight. It’s a good match-up for me,” he said. The unbeaten contender (15-0) debuted at middleweight before moving to welterweight, but after several weight misses, he returned to his original division.
