What is the story about?
Bakhram Murtazaliev will defend the IBF super welterweight title against Josh Kelly in the main event today from Newcastle, England.
Bad Left Hook will be here with live results and updates, and we’ll be down in the comments section to chat as the card goes on.
Murtazaliev (23-0, 17 KO) won this title back in 2024, and thrashed Tim Tszyu in a first defense, but he’s been out of action about 15 months waiting to get a fight done. Kelly (17-1-1, 9 KO) is aiming to win his first world title, and will
have home advantage in the UK.
Also on the card: Josh Padley and Jaouad Belmehdi vie for the vacant European 130 lb title, and Elif Nur Turhan defends her IBF lightweight belt against Taylah Gentzen. Join us today!
