This fight was announced by RCC boxing promotions today and its certainly one too look forward too. It’s a risky fight for Abdullaev coming off the loss to Devin Haney as Malikov is arguably the second best lightweight in Russia.
I like the match making here as the winner isn’t too far off a title shot and it should be a 50/50 fight. I need to rewatch both of their fights to make a truly accurate prediction however I am leaning towards Abdullaev by decision or late stoppage right now.
