Mark Urvanov (17-2) vs Akzhol Sulaymanbek Uulu (15-0). The fight for the WBA Gold title was held on March 7 in Yekaterinburg at the RCC Boxing Promotions tournament.
For Urvanov, this meeting was in many ways fateful. In November, he won early against former world title contender Yevgeny Chuprakov and won the WBO International belt - this victory put him in the top 10 of the world's strongest boxers in the second Featherweight division. Now Mark needs to move up in the ranking to get the right to fight for the world title. However, this requires regularly defending the right to have already won the title-now Urvanov can not afford to lose or draw, and each fight must go out as the last.
Akzhol Sulaymanbek Uulu has never lost in four years of his professional career - his winning streak has already totaled 15 matches. In addition, two years ago, he became the Asian champion of the world Boxing Association and defended this title four times. Akzhol is an ambitious boxer who sets absolutely the same goals for himself as Urvanov.
Clearly, even on paper, this fight looks very interesting, and it is impossible to call someone a favorite.
