“I'll fight roughly around June... It's even possible that I drop down to 66 kg [i.e. featherweight] to fight the title. I'd prefer to stay in my weight class at 70 kg [i.e. lightweight]. But if they offer me a title fight [with Volkanovski] at 66, then why not,” Tsarukyan said, Home of Fight reports.
