Russian Zaur Abdullaev will box for the championship belt in the first half of 2025, RCC Boxing Promotions general director German Titov told .
Argentina’s Abdullaev beat Argentine Juan Javier Carrasco by 12th round technical knockout in a fight for second place in the IBF lightweight rankings. The champion of this organization is Vasily Lomachenko.
“I would be very interested to see the judges’ scores.” I think it could have been 6-5 after 11 rounds against both Carrasco and Abdullaev. The fight seemed close to me, which is why the score was probably that. Maybe even 7-4 in favor of Zaur, but certainly not in favor of the Argentinian. As for Zaur’s slow start, yes, he needs to approach serious fights more aggressively. Abdullaev starts swinging after the 6th or 7th round, and this whole fight may be lost depending on the judges’ scores. I understand, 1, 2, even 3 towers to build, but no more. Yes, Abdullaev will now occupy the second place in the IBF lightweight world rankings. The situation there is very interesting and in the near future, most likely in the first half of 2025, Zaur will immediately box for the world title,” Titov told .
