Madrimov vs. Kurbanov Fight Returns to Joshua – Ngannou Undercard

The bout between Uzbekistan's Israil Madrimov (8-0-1, 6 KOs) and Russia's Magomed Kurbanov (25-0, 13 KOs) has made its unexpected return to the undercard of the boxing evening in Saudi Arabia.

It was previously reported that Madrimov was barred from the fight due to issues with a medical examination conducted by the BBBofC. However, at the final press conference, both boxers were present and engaged in an intense stare down.

This contest is set to vie for the WBA World Super Welterweight title (up to 69.9 kg). The boxing evening will take place on March 8th.
