Russian boxer Pavel Silyagin will fight for the IBF Intercontinental super middleweight belt on September 6 in Chelyabinsk, RCC Boxing Promotions general director German Titov told .
For the first time since February 2022, the IBF allows his fight on the territory of the Russian Federation. Moreover, during all this time, Russian boxers were not excluded from the organization’s ranking.
The 2015 World Championship and European Games bronze medalist Silyagin has 14 wins and one draw in the professional ring.
— I am glad that the IBF is starting to sanction fights in Russia. So, on September 6 in Chelyabinsk, Pavel Silyagin will fight for the IBF intercontinental belt. The opponent will be announced very soon. For Silyagin, this is a good chance to get into the IBF ranking. Now, Pavel is already in the top 15 of the WBA ranking. I believe that Silyagin is one of those boxers from RCC Boxing Promotions who are at the highest level and who in the near future will qualify for a full-fledged fight for the world title. A victory for Pavel here would mean getting into the top 15 of the IBF ranking and would seriously bring him closer to winning a full belt, ”Titov told .
It was previously announced that at the same tournament in Chelyabinsk, former WBC Silver champion Zaur Abdullaev of Russia would fight Argentine Juan Javier Carrasco for the second place in the IBF lightweight rankings.
