Former WBA Inter-Continental middleweight champion and EBA champion, Avtandil Khurtsidze (22-1-2, 13 KO), will fight Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam (24-0-, 17 KOs) for the interim WBA world middleweight title on October 30th at the Palais des Sports Porte de Versailles in Paris, France. The fighters went face to face at the final press conference.

Hassan N’dam: I saw four fights of Avandtil Khurtshide, and he is nothing but a boxer who imposes his pressure and he knows to come forward, but he technically limited. Unfortunately for him Oct. 30, he will be forced to retreat. I am very well prepared, I have no specific plan for this fight, but I will fight according to my opponent. I'll be ready for any situation. As usual, I prepared myself for 12 rounds but if the opportunity arises I take him out. I asked for Khurtshide to take a good look in the mirror because he will not have the same face after the fight. I thank Direct8 and Sebastien Acaries for giving me this chance and the director of television to broadcast my fight live in Cameroon on STV1.

Avandtil Khurtshide : I have seen several fights of N'Dam, he is talented but his style suits me perfectly. I have not come to France to lose but to take the belt. Hassan has never faced an opponent of my caliber. I do not see how he could resist my pressure for 12 rounds. He is always saying that I do not go backwards, but if necessary I would. For the history of the mirror, I do not need to look at myself because I know I'm not beautiful, but one thing is for sure, I am more beautiful than N'Dam
