Koen Mazoudier would ‘love’ a rematch with Nikita Tszyu

“It was an exciting, fun fight for fans last time out,” Mazoudier said. “Didn’t get the job done but showed that I’m one of the top dogs in the division. Now a fight against Dan Hill is another barnburner. Even if I was trying to box smarter and make it otherwise, it’s going to be a cracker of a fight.”

Mazoudier was asked about the prospect of a rematch with Nikita Tszyu.

“I’d love it, but I’m not holding on to that,” he responded. “We put on a great performance, put on a great fight. I believe we saw the best Nikita that night. I believe we saw a better version of myself. 

“But I know what I did wrong. I’m not whining about the past. I’m continuing to grow, continuing to get better, and just enjoying the moment, looking forward to putting on great fights that me and my kids will be able to watch back in the future.”

Hill’s lone defeat came in July 2023, when he was stopped in eight rounds by the 8-0 Dylan Biggs. Hill has won three consecutive bouts since.
