The Irish athlete Ian Machado Garry discussed the Shavkat Rakhmonov on his YouTube channel. He said:
“I want people to say, ‘This guy will fight anyone, anywhere, anytime.’ A perfect example—give me the boogeyman of the welterweight division, and I’ll stand in there on three weeks’ notice and find a way to beat him.
“Can I be the guy to defeat Shavkat? Find out when it happens, baby. He’s been looking at me for seven or eight months. I signed to fight the baddest man in the division, and he comes out of the shadows.
“Honestly, I’ve been pushing for the Shavkat fight. I wanted undefeated vs. undefeated.”
