Russian Sharabutdin Ataev has prospects of becoming a top professional boxer, said the chairman of the coaching council of the Russian Boxing Federation and manager of Atayev Eduard Kravtsov .
On Friday in Dushanbe, Atayev defeated 2021 world champion and 2020 Games bronze medalist Azerbaijanis of Cuban origin Loren Alfonso Dominguez by unanimous decision and won the IBA belt in the weight category up to 86 kg. Atayev, 24, has 7 victories (4 by KO) in seven fights in the professional ring. Previously, the boxers met three times in amateur fights, the Russians won twice, and the Azerbaijanis once.
— In general, the first passages towards the equator were tight. It was possible to give 2-3 rounds to Alfonso. And then the missed shots started to take their toll. Sharabutdin increased the pace, although he took a break in the ninth round. And he got a well-deserved victory: about 8-2 in rounds. But there is still something to work on. There is a lack of density, accentuated quality shots, long pauses must be avoided. But there is the potential to become a top professional boxer,” Kravtsov told .
The IBA Night of Champions tournament was broadcast live on the channel.
