The show will take place on Thursday, August 8, in Ufa. In the main fight of the evening, Artur Subkhankulov will defend the IBA European Champion belt in the weight category up to 60 kg against Roland Galos. The fight is scheduled for eight rounds. Subkhankulov’s weight was 59.9 kg, and that of Tokyo Olympic Games participant Galos – 59.5 kg.
“There are concerns because I will be facing an experienced opponent,” Subkhankulov said. “But I am 100% prepared. I believe that I can handle this opponent. I am very well prepared! I will be performing at home in front of my home crowd, and that will help me. And I am confident in myself. But you shouldn’t confuse confidence with overconfidence.”
Two-time Russian champion, winner of the 2024 BRICS Games, champion of the 2023 Bolivarian ALBA Games Azalia Amineva will make her debut in the professional ring as part of this show. The 21-year-old athlete will face Rehema Abdallah from Tanzania in a 6-round ranking fight in the 66 kg weight class. Amineva weighs 66 kg, while her opponent weighs 63.5 kg. Ahead of her fight, Amineva recorded a video message with a prize of a rematch with Iman Khelif, who represents Algeria, to whom she lost in the 1/8 finals of the 2023 World Championship. However, during that tournament, Khelif was disqualified as a result of a gender test – it was proven that the athlete has XY chromosomes. Khelif has already reached the final at the Olympics in Paris.
“After August 8, I am ready to take revenge on Iman Khelif any day. Do I look behind my opponent’s back? We will definitely figure it out tomorrow, no doubt,” said Azalia Amineva.
Silver medalist of the 2021 and 2024 World Championships Dzhambulat Bizhamov (1-0) will face undefeated Colombian Juan Narvaez (8-0, KO 8) in an 8-round fight in the 75 kg weight class. Bizhamov weighs 74.9 kg, while the Latin American weighs 74.5 kg.
“I can’t wait for the upcoming fight, I’m in anticipation,” said Bizhamov. “The weight has been made, all that’s left is to step into the ring and show my skills. I’m interested in professional boxing, and it wasn’t a problem to switch from Olympic. Plus, I have one professional fight under my belt. Honestly, I don’t know my opponent because I couldn’t find his fights on the Internet. I was preparing for everything.”
The 2021 World Championship finalist, 2021 Russian Champion Vadim Musaev will challenge Paulus Amavila from Tanzania for the WBA Asia belt in the first middleweight division in a 10-round fight. Musaev weighs 66.45 kg, while Amavila weighs 66.5 kg.

“You know my next opponent. Usyk challenged me to a fight. He said he wanted to meet me in the ring. I accepted the challenge. “I push horses” and “I feel it, I feel it hard.”
What’s my plan? Be smart, be faster, use my agility, be tough, get in the ring and knock him out. I am known for my strength, I need to show it. “I’ve been through a tough journey in my life, but I’m back and ready to beat Usyk,” Wilder said.
The American had 49 fights in the professional ring and won 44 victories (43 of them ahead of schedule). In June, Wilder knocked out his compatriot Tyrell Herndon, ending his two defeats in 2023 and 2024.
Usyk last appeared in the ring in July, when he stopped Briton Daniel Dubois. The Ukrainian became the absolute world champion but lost a title by refusing to defend his WBO belt in October.

Japanese boxer after fight in Riyadh Naoya Inoue He shared his impressions of his victory over Mexican David Picasso (119–109, 120–108, 117–111):
“Honestly, I’m tired. The point wasn’t that I had four fights a year, it was that I had to prepare very hard for each of those four fights. When you’re in this process, you tolerate it because you only think about the fight, but now that it’s over, I see that I definitely gave it everything I had.”
“I don’t want to disrespect Picasso, but I wanted to show the difference between us a little more clearly and knock him out. I couldn’t meet the expectations and I couldn’t box the way I wanted. Nothing has been decided yet, but I would be happy to organize a fight that will excite the whole of Japan.”
Japanese Junto Nakatani He talked about his victory over Sebastian Hernandez (118-110, 115-113, 115-113):
“This fight was an experience for me. I moved up to this weight class to win a championship, so if I get that chance, I want to take it.”
