Murtazaliev (22-0, 16 KOs) has wanted Tszyu (24-1, 17 KOs) since before the 31-year-old won the vacant IBF belt in early April, when he knocked out Jack Culcay. Murtazaliev’s promoter, Kathy Duva of Main Events, is pleased that the fight is now coming to fruition.

Renan Ferreira warns Francis Ngannou that his upcoming MMA fight requires total focus. Ngannou previously ventured into boxing, where he faced Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, but Ferreira believes splitting focus could hurt Ngannou’s performance in their PFL matchup on October 19. Ferreira, who boasts a four-fight knockout streak, emphasized that Ngannou's long absence from MMA could pose a significant challenge, especially with Ferreira prepared to capitalize on any opportunity. Ferreira sees this fight as a benchmark to determine the top heavyweight in the world.
