Ibf junior middleweight champion Bakhram Murtazaliev says he has “Wonderful news” Come in for his next battle. Judging by the enthusiasm for the unbeaten Murtazaliev (23-0, 17 COs), this is an important struggle.
Fans hope the good news for Bakhram unification against Terence Crawford or Sebastian Fundora, but that is unlikely. It is safe to assume that the two 154 -pound champions want nothing to do with the fight against Murtazaliev. He is too dangerous for one of them.
Logical Options for Murtazaliev’s next battle:
– Erickson’s Lubi
– Josh Kelly
– Serhii Bohachuk
– Charles Conwell
Murtazaliev said he would be prepared to move to 160 for an interesting battle if he couldn’t get a one -game at 154. The middleweight division is now pretty empty and he has few options.
Fight the announcement is coming
Crawford is focused on the fight against Canelo Alvarez for a huge pay day at 168. Even if he didn’t, he would have had nothing to do with Murtazaliev after what he did to former WBO champion Tim Tszyu. He destroyed himself in three rounds on October 19 in a four-button victory in Orlando, Florida.
The victory was by far the biggest of Murtazaliev’s career, as he was ignored and avoided by the other champions and top contenders. Former 1540 pounds, Jermell Charlo, never wanted to fight against him, and for good reason. He would have ended up in the same shoes as Tszyu.
Surprisingly, Murtazaliev, 32, was not included on the 22nd map of Turki Al-Shiekh in Riyadh. A battle between Murtazaliev and Vergil Ortiz jr. Would have been more interesting than his scheduled collision by recently beaten former WBA junior middleweight champion Israil Madrimov on the map.
It would have been a much more dangerous battle for Vergil than Madrimov, who did not go on the attack like Murtazaliev. Ortiz jr. However, the option had to choose his opponent for the map, and he wanted Madrimov.
