Press Release
Salita Promotions has signed up blue-chip Russian light heavyweight prospect Ali Izmailov to a promotional contract.
28-year-old Izmailov is a former amateur standout having won multiple elite international tournaments in amateurs. As a professional, at just 5-0, 3 KOs in his pro boxing career, Izmailov is already rated #10 by the IBF.
Standing 5′ 11½″ with a muscular frame, strong punching power, deceptive quickness and a very sturdy defense, Izmailov, from Malgobek, Russia, is a heavy-handed counter puncher whose accurate shots punish opponents into submission. The exciting prospect says he’s expecting to do big things fighting under the Salita banner.
“I have a great future with Salita and everyone will be surprised at my extraordinary ability,” said Izmailov. “Dmitriy Salita will give me the opportunity to become a world champion. I will show the American fans my exciting style and willingness to fight the best.”
Izmailov was last seen unleashing an impressive destruction of his 25-2 countryman, Ruslan Fayfer, in nine rounds in November 2020. Promoter Salita says he’s optimistic of the Russian power puncher’s chances.
“Ali is already the best prospect in the division,” said Salita. “We are going to bring him to the United States where fans will quickly grow to love his fearlessness and his power. The 175-lb division just got even deeper with the addition of this newest Russian strongman.”

Press Release | Ali Izmailov Added To Upcoming 'Detroit Brawl' Card in Dearborn
WBC #9, IBF #15, WBO #14 light heavyweight Ali Izmailov (7-0, 5 KOs) will face Iquique, Chile’s Abraham Tebes (7-0, 3 KOs) in an exciting 10-round battle of undefeated 175-lb sluggers at Salita Promotion’s next Detroit Brawl event, on Saturday April 2, 2022, in the Lincoln Ballroom of the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center in Dearborn, MI.
Considered one of the hardest punchers in boxing and now working with highly regarded trainer and former champion John David Jackson, 28-year-old Izmailov is a former amateur standout on the international level, now competing as a world-class professional. Izmailov has already held the WBO Global Championship in his short two-year pro boxing career, among many impressive performances. He was last seen in the ring in January, needing just four rounds to brutalize capable veteran Israel Duffus at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, FL.
“Every fight I am coming to show my sharpened tools,” said Izmailov during a break in training with Jackson. “I am excited to fight again in Detroit against my undefeated opponent to give to the fans another spectacular knockout. I will soon be world champion.”
“Ali Izmailov brings a lot of knockout power to the Detroit Brawl,” said event promoter Dmitriy Salita. “Under the tutelage of John David, he is becoming an unstoppable force in the division. It’s only a matter of time before he faces a world champion and, with his incredibly heavy hands, wins his first championship belt.”
The night’s eight-round main event features the return of one of Detroit’s own, as undefeated power-punching lightweight contender Erick De Leon (19-0-1, 11 KOs) will take on hard-nosed Mexico City veteran Juan Jose “Piquet” Martinez (28-11, 20 KOs).
In the main supporting bouts will be undefeated former amateur star and professional middleweight Timur Kerefov (12-0, 6 KOs) taking a challenging assignment against well-respected trialhorse Cleotis “Mookie” Pendarvis (21-9-2, 9 KOs) in an eight-round showdown, as well as undefeated Grand Rapids, Michigan-based former amateur lightweight star Joshua “Double J” Pagan (1-0, 1 KO) facing pro debuting Virginian Jude Hammad in a four-round special attraction.
