Saint Petersburg – IBA Pro 10 returns on October 6 as Russian rivals Sergey Kumin And Murad Khalidov In their long -awaited IBA Pro, meet heavyweight confrontation in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Placed for eight rounds or less, the match-up pits two hard-hitting heavyweight Hulks against each other in a fierce clash of styles and personalities.
“We are pleased to bring this fight to Saint Petersburg with IBA Pro 10 on October 6,” said IBA President Umar Kremlev.
“Sergey [Kuzmin] is one of the most recognizable heavyweight boxers in Russia; From the amateur code to professional, he is a man of pedigree, experience and quality. Opposite him, Murad [Khalidov] is a wildcard. A dangerous man who excelled in both gloved and bare knuckle boxes: he is a real hunter who deserves this opportunity.
“In boxing everything can happen – especially in the heavyweight division. These two proud Russian warriors will result in a fight that is worth the opportunity. Drama is not preferred, it is guaranteed.”
Online sensation Khalidov has been given a considerable momentum in recent years, in which the Budennovsk Bruiser returns from a ten -year interruption from the sport and gets the headlines with a series of violent, exciting versions over several disciplines.
Once considered a future star of Russian boxing, Khalidov’s professional journey was stopped in 2014 by legal issues. Returning to combat sports in November 2022, he quickly became in the prominent place in Cage Boxing, before he prospect Khalimjon Mamasoliev via decision against IBA for 6 In May in his first gloved boxing match in more than ten years.
Khalidov would then score a crushing second round knockout victory on Ivan Smirnov in July, this time in the bare Knuckle code of the IBA, but now has the opportunity to make up for lost time against a well-known world-level enemy in Kuzmin.
“I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to cope [Sergey] Kuzmin, “said Khalidov.
“He [Kuzmin] Has 14 victories by Knock -Out from 19, but that means nothing for me – because I am not like the opponents with whom he was previously confronted. I will probably be his most difficult opponent in his career, without any exaggeration. Just as he will be the most difficult opponent in my career.
“The fact that everyone expects that a crushing Ko will put pressure on me from me? There is no pressure. I never go after a knockout, it will come naturally. If I find out, I will never find it. I will work in my own way.
When he was asked for his prediction about the fight, the self -assured Khalidov shot a threatening warning shot at his opponent, who tangled Kuzmin for what he labeled as “worthless” recent performances.
“Sergey, it will be very difficult for you, so get ready! What you have shown in your last 3-4 battles is terrible. A terrible position, worthless! This time it will be completely different. But I know that he is preparing in a completely different way, so on October 6 we will see each other and determine who is the best heavyweight.”
After a short-but successful trip in Kale Knokelboksen, former world professional Kuzmin (19-2, 14 Kos) returns to the glove scene for the first time since an eighth round-stop victory on German Garcia Montes in July 2023.
After he shared the ring with heavyweights at the top level Martin Bakole, Michael Hunter and David Price during his career, Kuzmin enters the game with Khalidov (10-0, 5 Kos, 1-0 IBA Pro) with a considerable experience advantage, and the 38-year-old looks forward to Squaren on October 6.
“I don’t know how to do hype, and I don’t welcome it,” said Kuzmin in an interview with Match TV.
“It will be a professional boxing match – it is a men’s sport, and the ring will show everything. I am already training hard and prepares myself. I will be confronted with a great opponent and I am looking forward to our confrontation. I am very happy that the fight will take place in St. Petersburg.”
