De Martinis is a strong fighter who came victorious in bouts against his rather famous fellow countrymen Massimo Bertozzi and Salvatore Battaglia.

Cristian De Martinis suffered his second loss fighting Daniele Petrucci who is still undefeated with 24 wins and 0 losses. Last time Cristian stepped into the ring in November of 2008 and got a unanimous nod from judges in a six-rounder against Cristian Frias while Baysangurov fought last time in Kharkiv on April 22nd and made Mikheil Khucishvili quit sitting on his stool after round 1.
“Our country needs victories and events that will inspire people to success in their life. And sportsmen are the first men to do it for their country. Zaur is a strong fighter and he’ll win the victory for all of us and it will become a symbolic gift for the Day of Kyiv”, Vitali Klitschko, Head of K2 East Promotions mentioned in particular in his speech while introducing the “Comeback Fight” boxing tournament.
As Alexander Krasyuk, General Manager of K2 East Promotions pointed out Baysangurov is in perfect shape and good psychological condition and training period is going on in accordance with the plan. “Last February Zaurbek trained in Los Angeles at Freddy Roach’s gym where he mastered his skills. And on May 30th he’ll have a chance to demonstrate it. Furthermore, boxing guru Roach himself gave many valuable pieces of advice to Zaur. Thus, now Baysangurov can hold masterclasses himself”, joked Mr. Krasyuk.
