Murat Gassiev (31-2, 24 KOs) will return to the ring on August 23, 2025, in Miami, Florida, facing American heavyweight Jeremiah Milton (11-1, 7 KOs) in a scheduled 10-round bout.

Gassiev was originally linked to Andrzej Wawrzyk, but Milton has stepped in as the opponent. Promoter Al Siesta called him “a big and competent heavyweight, coming in with only one defeat” — a solid test before Gassiev looks toward bigger opportunities at HW.

How do you rate this matchup? Can Milton give Gassiev problems, or is this another step toward a bigger fight?

Better opponent but still not a good one. Gassiev needs to face some top 25s. It seems that after he loses, he has years of confidence boosters against cans with padded records.
