Unbeaten lightweight star Artur Subkhankulov (9-0, 4 KOs) returns this Friday at Melbet IBA Pro 9, facing Tigran Uzlyan (12-1, 6 KOs) in a ten-round clash for the WBA Continental lightweight title, streaming live on the Seconds Out YouTube channel.
Subkhankulov, ranked #7 by the IBF, is coming off a dominant win over Ibrahim Balla in April and looks to edge closer to a world title shot. Uzlyan, fresh off capturing the WBA strap against Juanfe Gomez, aims to spoil the hometown hero’s night and leave Adler with his belt intact.
In the co-main event, undefeated super-middleweight contender Pavel Silyagin (16-0-1, 7 KOs) meets Venezuela’s Keiber Gonzalez (21-1, 18 KOs) for the IBA Pro Intercontinental title. Ranked in the top 10 by both the IBF and WBA, Silyagin continues his push toward major fights in the division.
The card also features:
- Azalia Amineva (3-0, 1 KO) vs. Mollaoglu Neslihan (2-1) – 6 rounds, welterweight
- Danis Gabdrafikov (4-0, 1 KO) vs. Dilshat Nurym (9-1, 6 KOs) – WBA Central Asia welterweight title
- Bekkhan Israilov (1-0) vs. Iman Ramezanpour (2-1, 1 KO) – 6 rounds, heavyweight
- Shkutyak Yaroslav (1-0) vs. Khalimjon Mamasoliev (2-0, 2 KOs) – 6 rounds, cruiserweight
