Muslim Gadz moves to 7-0 as a pro without losing a professional round. He was the WBA Bridger champion before they dissolved the division. He is currently the #1 ranked amateur in the world and should enter the WBA ratings after this fight.
Only 29 but he needs to stay more active as a pro than as an amateur

Thank you man, time to watch some good boxing

Is this a pro boxing? Gloves seems like amateur ones

No idea. I just know boxrec has it listed as pro. They had 2 amateur fights on this card and 1 IBA pro. The rest are listed as pro fights

yallyev has a very nice jab and surprising speed for a man of his size

Yallyev is a decent prospect.

What the...Joyce gave up.
Seems like something happened..

Can he retire now..

He wil end up with more losses than wins by time he’s done.

And some CTE on top.

Well, can't say it was disappointing, because it was expected..

Weird video. So is Chisora getting another undeserved title shot? First came on the back of a loss, second was after going 1-3 and this one would be on the back of a loss. WBA is a joke

I don't want to see Gassiev-Chisora.

He should instead fight a ranked WBA contender. Efe Ajagba would be a good choice, as would the winner of Itauma-Hrgovic.

Gassiev may turn out to be the Lara of the heavyweight division, fighting one nobody or semi-retired fighter once or twice a year. Silly to think of Gassiev vs Kadiru was a legitimate title fight, same would be true with Chidora at this point

Awful main event. Just a very dull sparring match.

I suspect they'll arrange for Suslenkov to become a mandatory after Chisora too. Maybe a defence against Arutyunyan after that.

I suspect Tony Yoka when he recovers from his injury, will be next in line to fight Murat Gassiev 'so really this interim may just be a ticking over fight'.

Note: The fight between Tony Yoka and Murat Gassiev 'was quite a big fight. The people involved in creating that match up, most likely don't want to completely dismiss that fight happening in the future'.

I personally don't rate Murat Gassiev as a heavyweight 'and even this version of Derek Chisora, miles outside of his peak could be a dangerous fight for him' etc.

Murat Gassiev ready for title unification bouts with Kabayel, Dubois

Murat Gassiev manhandled Peter Kadiru for a sixth-round stoppage win on Saturday in his first WBA heavyweight title defense, headlining the IBA PRO 19 show at VTB Arena in Moscow, Russia.

Gassiev (34-2, 27 KOs) made easy work of Kadiru (23-2, 13 KOs), a late-replacement opponent who stepped in for the injured Tony Yoka to take on the tussle without any success.

Gassiev, The Ring's No. 9-rated heavyweight, can now move on to more meaningful matchups, specifically title unification bouts against WBC champion Agit Kabayel and WBO titleholder Daniel Dubois.

IBA president Umar Kremlev is interested in staging the fights in the respective countries of the division's other titleholders.
"Our next step is definitely Germany and the UK to fight against Kabayel and Dubois," Kremlev told The Ring. "We love the opportunity of a title unification fight. The best need to fight the best and defend their titles."

Gassiev will also be inclined to give Moses Itauma a title shot since it's a fight he's previously called for, if Itauma gets past Filip Hrgovic on August 29.

The 32-year-old initially picked up the WBA's secondary heavyweight title by stopping Kubrat Pulev in December while headlining the IBA Pro 13 event in Dubai. Following news of The Ring champion Oleksandr Usyk vacating his IBF, WBA and WBC titles last month, the Russian emerged as the WBA's lone belt holder.

The development was a welcome one for Gassiev, who's now revived his career with four straight wins after suffering a split decision loss against Otto Wallin in September 2023. Gassiev's only other loss came against Usyk in 2018 during a cruiserweight title unification bout.

Gassiev's improbable rise as a power player in the heavyweight division is also a welcome development for the IBA, which has a vested interest in the former cruiserweight champion's career as they continue to build on promoting more pro shows.

"We are ready to bring big heavyweight fights around the globe," Kremlev said. "We have plans to organize additional IBA events in the United States, England, and China as well.

"It's part of our grassroots movement to grow professional boxing with new opportunities around the globe. We don't see ourselves as competition to the rest of the organizers. Our task is to unite the boxing world. We're aiming to raise the bar every time. We're not in a rush to go onward and upward."
