Undefeated junior welterweight slugger Shohjahon “Shoh” Ergashev notched another dominating victory on Sunday night, in front of a packed house at the Korston Club Hotel Moscow, i Moskva, Ryssland, as he demolished opponent Juma Waswa in four one-sided rounds.
Fighting in the 10-round main event, Uzbekistan-born southpaw Ergashev (nu 13-0, 12 Kos) was even able to drop Uganda’s Waswa for the first and second times ever, before stopping him the first time in his career.
Ergashev showed his versatility, as he dug a lot of punches to the body to lower the defense of his opponent, who was fighting out of a high-hand-raised peekaboo stance. Under hela striden, Waswa (nu 10-3-1, 4 Kos) didn’t manage to land even one clean punch.
Afterwards, the confident Ergashev called for a high-profile opponent to face him.
“I am happy I got to get in some rounds and the fight concluded as I wished with a stoppage,"Ergasjev sa, “but now I am ready to come back to the US and get some big names under my belt. How about Brandon Rios? I would break him in half.”
25-year-old Ergashev, a national hero in Uzbekistan, trains at the Kronk Boxing Gym in Detroit under the watchful eyes of Javan SugarHill Steward and co-trainer Rick Phillips.
“Shoh is one of the most exciting and hardest punchers in boxing,” said Ergashev’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “I feel very confident that he can beat all the champions in the division and he is still getting better in every fight. With his power, the sky is the limit.”

Ethnic Korean, Ukrainian-born junior featherweight slugger Arnold Khegai stayed undefeated on Sunday, Augusti 19, with an impressive two-round stoppage over Uganda’s Mudde Robinson Ntambi at the Korston Club Hotel Moscow, i Moskva, Ryssland.
The IBF #13-rated Khegai (13-0-1, 9 Kos) utilized his monstrous strength and power to score two knockdowns in the second round, sending Ntambi (23-6-1, 7 Kos) through the ropes and forcing the referee to stop the fight.
The 26-year-old Khegai says he was pleased with his performance and fees ready to climb another run of the ladder to a world championship.
“All my preparations paid off and I am happy with my victory,” said Khegai. “Now I want to come to the United States and fight the champions to show that I am the best 122-lb fighter in the world.”
Showing excellent hand speed and the strength of a middleweight, Khegai set the boxing world abuzz in May of this year, med ett dominerande enhälligt beslut över den välrespekterade utmanaren Adam Lopez. The brutal beating of Ntambi only bolsters his case for a chance to prove himself in a high-profile showdown.
“Arnold’s power and variety of punches were very impressive in this fight,” said his promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “I believe he has the skills to be a world champion and the personality to be a star in the sport.“

IBF #15-rankade Khegai imponerade boxningsvärlden i maj i år, med ett dominerande enhälligt beslut över den välrespekterade utmanaren Adam Lopez, live på Showtime. Med utmärkt handhastighet och styrkan hos en mellanvikt, Khegai är redo att göra sin närvaro märkbar på världsscenen i en mästerskapskamp.
"Jag är exalterad över att komma tillbaka i ringen och göra ett nytt uttalande,” sa den 26-årige Khegai. "Jag är redo att utmana de bästa i världen och min motståndare är i min väg till de stora striderna jag vill ha, så han måste gå."

Dimitriy Mikutsa vs. Khadis Ibragimov M-1 Challenge light heavyweight title fight to headline M-1 Challenge 96

Daniel Swain vs. Viktor Kolesnik in co-feature
Augusti 25 in Saint Petersburg, Ryssland

SANKT PETERSBURG, Ryssland (Augusti 1, 2018) -The vacant M-1 Challenge light heavyweight title will be on the line August 25, när Dimitriy Mikutsa och Khadis Ibragimov throw-down in the M-1 Challenge 96 main event, in M-1 Arena, at Saint Petersburg, Ryssland.
Mikutsa (9-3-1, M-1: 2-1-0), one of the top fighters in Ukraine, is riding a four-fight win streak, including M-1 Global victories over Kleber Raimundo Silva last February at M-1 Challenge 87 och Dmitry Tebekin vid M-1 Challenge 79, both by way of three-round unanimous decisions. A heavy-handed striker, Mikutsa has knocked out six of his nine victims to date.
One of the most promising prospects in years, undefeated Ibragimov (6-0-0, M-1: 2-0-0) has earned his title shot, primarily by defeating former M-1 Challenge light heavyweight champion Stephan Puetz, using a bulldog choke to submit his German foe in the third round last February at M-1 Challenge 88. Ibragimov, who will be fighting at home in Saint Petersburg, won his last fight at M-1 Challenge 92, när Giga Kukhalalashvili was disqualified in the third round for rope grabbing.
A potentially explosive co-featured event has also been announced as American featherweight Daniel “Agent Orange” Swain (18-8-1, M-1: 1-0-1) tar på Viktor Kolesnik (14-3-1, M-1: 3-1-1), Rysslands.
Fighting out of Newport, Washington, the entertaining Swain is coming off a sensational victory this past May at M-1 Challenge 91, when he used a kneebar to submit Musu Nuertiebieke i öppningsrundan.
Kolesnik’s lone loss in his last 10 slagsmål, dating back nearly four years, was by split decision at M-1 Challenge 85 till Nate Landwehr, who is now the newly crowned M-1 Challenge featherweight champion.
Ytterligare slagsmål kommer snart att tillkännages. Alla slagsmål och fighters är föremål för förändring.
