World-rated Russian super middleweight prospect Aslambek “The Hulk” Idigov will return to action on Wednesday, Septemba 5, in his hometown of Grozny, Russia, against former African champion Daniel Wanyonyi for the WBA Asian Championship.

 

 

 

Idigov (13-0, 5 Kos), lilipimwa #14 na WBO, will face the experienced Kenyan Wanyonyi (27-12-2, 22 Kos) at the five-star Grozny City Hotel in Grozny, and televised live in Russia on Match TV.

 

 

 

In his 11-year career, Wanyonyi has held the Kenyan Middleweight, interim East & Central African Professional Boxing Federation Middleweight, and African Boxing Union Light Heavyweight Championships.

 

 

 

Undefeated Idigov, who trains in Detroit with Javan SugarHill Steward and co-trainer Rick Phillips, at Kronk Gym, was last seen winning an impressive unanimous 10-round decision over once-beaten Detroiter James Ballard. He won the IBO Youth Super Middleweight Championship in December 2016 with a unanimous decision over countryman Igor Selivanov.

 

 

 

The 22-year-old says he’s closing in on his dream of a world championship.

 

 

 

“I am in great condition for this fight, training at the Kronk Gym in Detroit has done wonders for me,"Alisema. “I am very excited about my next fight in September, climbing up the ranks and challenging for the world title some time next year.”

 

 

 

Idigov’s promoter, Maneno ya Dmitriy, says that the Idigov’s remarkable strength and power make him a serious force at 168 lbs.

 

 

 

“Aslambek is truly “The Hulk,” said Salita. “His physical strength and size at super middleweight are remarkable. He is only 22 years old and is steadily improving with each camp. I believe he will have an impressive performance September 5 and big opportunities are in his near future. He is a prospect boxing fans should mark as one to watch.”

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, katika Moscow, Russia, as he demolished opponent Juma Waswa in four one-sided rounds.

 

 

 

Fighting in the 10-round main event, Uzbekistan-born southpaw Ergashev (sasa 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. Throughout the fight, Waswa (sasa 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,” said Ergashev, “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, Maneno ya Dmitriy. “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.”
