Down but never out, Volkanovski has urged Topuria to give him a rematch for the featherweight title later this year – potentially in enemy territory.
“He has the power … well done to him, he caught me,” Volkanovski said.
“Credit to him, he’s a hard hitter. He wasn’t meant to land them like that, but he did.
“I’ve been champion of this featherweight division for a long time … maybe we can have a rematch in Spain.”
