Russian boxer Magomed Kurbanov told that his fight with Israil Madrimov will definitely take place, details of the meeting are currently being discussed.
Kurbanov (25-0, KO 13) is ranked second in the WBA junior middleweight rankings, and Madrimov (9-0-1, KO 6) is ranked first. In his last fight, Kurbanov defeated Frenchman Michel Soro by split decision in May 2023 in Yekaterinburg during the RCC Boxing Promotions tournament. Madrimov also met Soro twice – in the summer of 2022 their fight ended in a draw, and in December 2021 Madrimov beat the Frenchman ahead of schedule.
Previously, American Jermell Charlo was the absolute junior middleweight world champion, but the boxer has already been stripped of his IBF and WBO titles. It is possible that the American boxer will vacate the remaining belts, and Kurbanov and Madrimov in this case will be able to challenge the vacant WBA title.
— There will be a fight with Madrimov. There is a preliminary location, but that’s it for now – we’re waiting for more precise data. Now everything is burning inside, I live for this fight. The motivation is incredible. I experienced something similar before meeting Smith,” Kurbanov told .
