Age 21 Murat Gassiev is in tough next fight, against age 28 undefeated Cuban Yunier Dorticos.

Dorticos (BoxRec #15 at cruiserweight) represented Cuba in the Olympics and is 18-0 with 17 KOs in the pros.

He has many times more amateur fights than Gassiev, fighting the world's best, and has faced better opposition as a pro than young Murat (Boxrec #31 at cruiserweight).

I think it's too soon for Gassiev, who won't be ready for someone like Dorticos for another year or two.
