What a fight in the UK at the moment! Murtazaliev the world champion from Russia has gotten up from being knocked down to floor Kelly.
It was all Josh Kelly more or less for the first eight rounds.
Kelly the challenger for the world title tonight.
He had dropped the Russian world champion here with a jab a short time ago.
But Murtazaliev came firing back with this:
Big left hook there — down goes Kelly.
What a scrap.
It is Josh Kelly’s first world title shot.
Here’s what is on the line:
IBF super welterweight world title (154 lbs / light-middleweight) — Murtazaliev defending his belt (won in 2024 vs. Jack Culcay, defended vs. Tim Tszyu).
