DAZN begins its action-packed international April on Easter Saturday.
Murodjon Akhmadaliev puts his IBF and WBA (Super) super-bantamweight titles on the line against Ryosuke Iwasa as DAZN presents a live boxing card from Uzbekistan on Saturday.
Should the home hope come through this stern test, he aims to embark on a unification quest at 122lbs later on in 2021.
“When you fight at home, defending what belongs to you, that’s probably the most important fight,” said Akhmadaliev. “To give a good fight under the bright lights, that’s what I’m looking forward to. It’s a dream for any fighter to perform at home.
We won t have to wait long for the big super-middleweight unification fight here s what has been announced.
It is official: Saul Canelo Alvarez will put his WBA (Super), WBC and The Ring (lineal) super-middleweight titles up against the WBO championship of Billy Joe Saunders in a huge unficiation showdown.
It had been reportedly in the works ever since Saunders made his most recent title defence, outclassing compatriot Martin Murray and sending the affable veteran into retirement in December,
Now Canelo has vanquished his WBC mandatory, Avni Yildirim, in three rounds and came out of the Miami main event unscathed in the process, he can focus fully on his quest to unify the 168lbs ranks.
