RCC Boxing introduced through Instagram that IBF no. 6 light-weight Zaur Abdullaev will meet no. 11 Juan Javier Carrasco in a September sixth eliminator in Chelyabinsk.
Greatest as I can inform, this isn’t technically a “remaining” eliminator, as William Zepeda holds the highest spot with all 4 sanctioning our bodies. They’ll be duking it out for the vacant no. 2 slot, which ought to translate to the highest spot when and if Zepeda cashes in his obligatory shot with one of many different sanctioning our bodies.
Although maybe greatest recognized for being the final man Devin Haney (31-0, 15 KO) stopped earlier than his present nine-fight knockout drought, Abdullaev (19-1, 11 KO) has snuck his method again up the ladder with quite a lot of strong second-tier victories. He’ll enter the ring on the heels of eight straight wins over the likes of Dejan Zlaticanin, Jorge Linares, Jovanni Straffon, and most just lately Roger Gutierrez.
Argentina’s Carrasco (20-1, 12 KO), winner of 15 straight since a 2017 loss to journeyman Miguel German Acosta, will likely be making his first look on overseas soil. He’s but to take out an enormous identify, however I feel everyone knows higher than to brush off unheralded Argentineans at this level
