Paddy Pimblett: Ilia Topuria Too Small for Lightweight, Will Revert to Featherweight After Fighting Me
Paddy Pimblett has voiced his opinion that Ilia Topuria is not built for the lightweight division. The English fighter asserted that if he were to face Topuria, the Spanish competitor would inevitably be compelled to drop back down to featherweight.
Pimblett's statement suggests a significant size discrepancy he perceives between himself and Topuria, implying that Topuria's frame is better suited to a lighter weight class. According to Pimblett, a bout between them would prove Topuria's unsuitability for lightweight, leading to a strategic retreat to his former division.
