Petr Yan Admits He Rose "Too Fast" in First Bantamweight Title Reign

Yan said his first bantamweight title run exposed flaws he had ignored. He became champion in 2020 but lost the belt in 2021. “I steamrolled to my first title and made many mistakes in camp,” Yan said. He admitted, “I believed in my skills too much.” Now, he credits teamwork for becoming champion again last night by defeating Merab Dvalishvili.
