A devastating puncher with power in both hands, Bektemirov besitzt auch Geschwindigkeit und Schnelligkeit, was ihn zu einem der am meisten Kämpfer in Russland gesprochen.

“Ich sage Ihnen jetzt, Medzhid Bektemirov ist einer der talentiertesten Kämpfer, die ich seit langem gesehen,” sagte, Gary Shaw. “He has the rare combination of speed and power. I’m talking destructive power coming from both hands. His hooks are deadly and his fast feet are amazing. I’m going to go out on a limb and say Bektemirov could be the next great fighter to come out of Russia. I have the greatest amount of respect for Gennady Golovkin und Sergey Kovalev, both are great champions. Golovkin is a very special fighter and if Bektemirov can reach his level, then we’ll have something special as well. I believe Bektemirov will be looking to face Kovalev in the not so distant future.”

 

In seinem erst 12. Kampf, Bektemirov eroberte die WBC USA (USNBC) Halbschwergewicht Titel mit einer dominierenden Leistung gegen Randy Griffin (25-4-3, 13 KOs), winning a lopsided twelve-round unanimous decision.

I’ve been in the ring with Tyson and I’m confident when I say Bektemirov reminds me a lot like Mike. Gary and I are going to put tremendous amount promoting Medzhid. He will become a household name very soon and we are gunning for that world title.”
