What have you heard?
Tom Aspinall spoke out about his headline fight and said that Volkov would be allowed to change fighters if he was denied a visa.
Submission Radio's British fighter stated that there have been no official updates. However, Volkov made it to the country.
"I'm aware that the British Boxing Board of Control ban fighters starting Wednesday or Thursday last week. They already had Russian fighters in the UK so we hope that this won't happen.
"I've seen some people like, keep sending him screenshots of him. It's just me, it's f ****** strange, "I know he's here, stop taking screenshots of him walking around in central London."
"But yes, he is in the country, and he made it. It's all good news. He's coming."
