On Saturday in Yekaterinburg, in the main fight of the RCC Boxing Promotions tournament, Kurbanov defeated his compatriot Aslanbek Kozaev by technical knockout in the sixth round. For Kurbanov, this fight was the first after losing the fight for the WBA junior middleweight world champion belt with Israil Madrimov of Uzbekistan in March this year.
— Magomed fought well and Aslanbek showed character. It is clear that Maga is growing. I am sure he will return to the championship race. Age and physical condition permit. I’m 100% sure of it. I wish Magomed good luck! “It all depends on him,” Tukov told .
In professional boxing, Kurbanov has 26 victories and one defeat. Kurbanov ranks seventh in the WBA junior middleweight rankings.
