IBF champion, Bakhram Murtazaliev, challenges Sebastian Fundora to unify combat

Bakhram Murtazaliev, a heavyweight IBF champion, called WBC and the 154-LB Fundora Foundora champion for a unification struggle after his fourth round of technical victory over Chordale Booker last Saturday night at Las Vegas.

Murtzaliev (23-0, 17 kos) published in X, congratulating “The Towering Inferno” Fundora (22-1-1, 14 kos) for his victory over Booker (23-2, 11 kos), saying: “I am ready!“It would be a great struggle for fans if Sebastian was willing to take this risky struggle.

Indisputable target

At the post-lucite press conference last night, he said his goal is to become an indisputable champion in 154. If founder was not just Using empty words It sounds brave, to take Bakhram on his offer would be excellent for fans.

It is unlikely that founder and her promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz, agree to fight Murtazaliev because it is dangerous and not someone with whom he could put on and fought as he did against the Booker of Light last night.

Thus fight against Murtazaliev will get Fundora quickly, perhaps in less than three rounds. It is the time it took Bakhram to have the former Wbo champion of 154 pounds Tim Tszyu on October 19 last year in Orlando, Florida. Tszyu tried to slide with Murtazaliev and fell four times in a loss of the third round.

Fundora should change her style of struggle to have the opportunity to defeat Bakhram. He will not be victorious fighting him in the trenches, using the same approach that worked for him against Booker and Tszyu.

Congratulations Fundora, great performance. I’m about!

Zayas or Murtazaliev?

Murtazaliev would be a good choice for founder if you want a way to swing their wbo -dew, Xander Zayas. Can take the unification route; There is no way that the WBO can strip it. However, I do not know why founder would avoid a weak punch like Zayas, which is at the level of Booker Power-Wise, but with more disorder, in favor of taking a risky struggle against Bakhram. This movement would not make sense.

Fundora said last week that she is interested in renewing conversations for a fight against Errol Spence if she still wants to fight her. This is a much bigger money struggle than defending yourself from the little known 22-year-old chanderer.
