Kazakh star Ray Seitzhanov returns against fellow undefeated fighter Nurbol Berdimuratov

Seitzhanov and Berdimuratov both place unbeaten records on the line

Undefeated Kazakh star Ray Seitzhanov will kick off the year with a bang later this month when he returns to action in Almaty.

Seitzhanov (5-0, 2 KOs) will take on fellow undefeated fighter Nurbol Berdimuratov (2-0) at the Tynyshpayev Academy of Transport and Communications on Tuesday 26 January.

It’s a quick return to action for Seitzhanov, after he picked up a dominant first round stoppage win over Evgenii Vazem in December.

It rounded off a successful 2020 for the 22-year-old, going alongside his wins over Berikbay Nurymbetov and Talgat Bertleuov earlier in the year.

With back to back stoppages, he now turns his attention to 20-year-old Berdimuratov, who made his debut in 2020 and secured victories against Bagdaulet Bolatbay and Raiymbek Tukenov in the process. His last victory was ruled as a split decision, so he only just edged the win, with one of three judges scoring all four rounds to his opponent.

The event later this month is being hel by Tukeshov Boxing, and will also feature the likes of Dastan Saduuly, Yernur Akhylbek and Nurslan Sabirov.
