ZHAN KOSSOBUTSKIY-HUSSEIN MUHAMED HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH SET FOR NOVEMBER 5 IN GERMANY

Rising heavyweight Zhan Kossobutskiy will face fellow unbeaten Hussein Muhamed in a scheduled 10-round contest at the Rudolf Weber-Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, on November 5.

In the amateur ranks, Kossobutskiy defeated 2012 Olympic bronze medalist Mahammadrasul Majidov, 2016 Olympic silver medalist Vassiliy Levit, and 2020 Olympic bronze medalist Frazer Clarke. He turned professional in September 2017.

The powerful Uzbekistan-born fighter initially fought in one of the old Soviet Union countries before moving to Germany, where he impressively stopped previously unbeaten Agron Smakici (KO 1).

Since then, Kossobutskiy has easily vanquished American trailhorse Joey Dawejko (KO 2), unbeaten Alexis Garcia (TKO 5) and former world title challenger Johann Duhaupas (RTD 5). The 33-year-old southpaw boasts an impressive record of 18-0 (17 knockouts).

Muhamed (17-0, 14 KOs) debuted in 2014 and his path has been slower. The German-born fighter has scored wins over one-time super middleweight title challenger Epifanio Mendoza (RTD 3), respected journeyman Denis Bakhtov (DQ 3), and perennial battler Yakup Saglam (UD 10). Kossobutskiy represents a marked step in competition.

The undercard will feature former Cuban standout Jose Larduet (8-0, 7 KOs) against once-beaten Ali Kiydin (16-1, 15 KOs) in a scheduled 10-round heavyweight contest.

Former IBF super middleweight title challenger Vincent Feigenbutz (35-3, 31 KOs) will look to win his fifth fight since suffering a defeat to Caleb Plant (TKO 10). The 27-year-old German is now operating at middleweight and will face an as yet unknown opponent.

There is also an opportunity for exciting heavyweight prospect Mourad Aliev (5-0, 3 KOs) to climb the ranks when he faces the vastly more experienced Yakup Saglam (46-7, 42 KOs) in a 10-round bout. Aliev is most famous for protesting his DQ loss to Frazer Clarke at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics by refusing to leave the ring.

Fight Week!

A priori, looks like a nice (competitive?) fight on paper.

Live on You Tube …..

Was Hussein Muhammed suspended for doping ?
Or am I mixing him up with someone else?

yeah i’m subscribed, defo remember watching a previous card

Fight Night !!

Two heavyweight fights coming up next.

it says 185k watching on youtube.................really???

main event ring walks now

hussein is a bit of a unit and seems to have the local support

hussein a big lad, throwing big haymakers, but zhan avoids them easily and throws in some snappy body shots. one of them drops hussein with about 30 seconds left

10-8 zk

hussein has a better round two, but then gets dropped right before the bell with another body shot

huessein down 3 more times in the third on a mix of head and body shots and it's stopped.........he swung gamely but way out of his depth

Muhamed isn’t much of a boxer but he kept getting up, and gave Zhan a bit hard time.

Zhan is two levels up from Muhamed, but he has flaws; i think Demirezen would finish Khan. Or all boxers up in first 20.

that would be a good matchup

lol, social media followers arre in the tale of the tape

mo abdallah (18-4 in glory kickboxing ; 0-0 boxiing) vs much smaller, older sinan-g (not sure if he has a combat background)

seems like something abdallah should win

looks like sinan is refusing to fight

okay finally they start

mo swats him around and drops him a few times in round 1, joke of a match
