Juergen Uldedaj vs Steven Ward Undercard

Juergen Uldedaj vs Steven Ward Fight

Juergen Uldedaj faces Steven Ward for the IBF International Cruiserweight Title.

• Division/Weight: cruiser
• Juergen Uldedaj record: 17-1
• Steven Ward record: 14-2
• Belts at stake: IBF International Cruiserweight Title

Juergen Uldedaj turned pro in 2015, boasts a record of 17 wins, 1 loss, with 6 KOs. Recently, he earned a unanimous decision win over a strong opponent, Damir Beljo, who had a significantly high knockout rate. This victory indicates his ability to handle tough opponents which might give him an edge against Ward, whose recent bouts were against less formidable opponents.

Steven Ward turned professional in 2016 and has a fight record of 14 wins and 2 losses. He won his last fight on points against Perry Howe who had a poor record which might not have fully tested Ward's abilities. On the contrary, Uldedaj’s recent victory over a much stronger contender could potentially challenge Ward more than his previous matches.

Alban Beqiri vs Shabani Ally Ndaro Fight

Alban Beqiri faces Shabani Ally Ndaro in a middleweight clash.

• Division/Weight: middle
• Alban Beqiri record: 10-0
• Shabani Ally Ndaro record: 7-2
• Belts at stake: N/A

Alban Beqiri, undefeated with a 10-0 record, became pro in 2019 and shows a strong KO rate of 60%. In his last match, he defeated Oner Sahinerol decisively. Considering this victory over an opponent with less experience and a record of 3-4, Beqiri's chances against Ndaro are promising due to his maintained unbeaten streak and higher KO power.

Shabani Ally Ndaro holds a record of 7 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw since turning pro in 2018. His recent loss was to Azizbek Tojiev via unanimous decision. While both Ndaro and Tojiev have faced similarly demanding opposition, Ndaro’s recent loss suggests vulnerabilities that Beqiri might exploit given his consistent winning record.

Elison Suci vs Stefan Nicolae Fight

Elison Suci faces Stefan Nicolae in a professional light division boxing match.

• Division/Weight: light
• Elison Suci record: 2-0
• Stefan Nicolae record: 3-55
• Belts at stake: N/A

Elison Suci turned pro in March 2024 and has since fought 2 bouts, winning both without knockouts. His last fight was against Michael Mooney, a fighter with a very seasoned record but high loss rate. Given Nicolae's similarly high loss count, Suci is likely to leverage his momentum and secure another win using tactics that exploit Nicolae's weaknesses from his recent fights.

Stefan Nicolae debuted professionally in March 2016. With a record of mainly losses over 60 fights and only one knockout win, he recently lost to Bruno Macho, an emerging fighter with fewer matches but sharp skills. Compared to his last opponent’s aggressive style and better win percentage, fighting Suci might challenge Nicolae considerably due to the difference in freshness and pace from their recent bouts status.

Hilal Manah vs George Aduashvili Fight

Hilal Manah will face George Aduashvili in a cruiserweight fight. No belts are on the line.

• Division/Weight: cruiser
• Hilal Manah record: 2-0
• George Aduashvili record: 19-43
• Belts at stake: N/A

Hilal Manah, from Germany, turned pro in April 2024 and carries a strong start with a 2-0 record, both by knockout. His recent victory against Marko Vranjes, who had limited experience, showcases his effective power. Facing the vastly more experienced Aduashvili could be a tougher challenge due to their disparate levels of ring time and competitive exposure.

George Aduashvili, from Georgia with a career starting back in 2005, stands at an extensive record of 19 wins (8 by KO), 43 losses, and 2 draws. Recently, Aduashvili has faced significant defeats against stronger opponents such as Marko Stankovic. Going against the less tested but undefeated Manah presents an advantage in experience but his recent form suggests vulnerabilities especially against punching power like Manah's.

Steven Ferguson vs Akilan Annadurai Fight

Steven Ferguson faces Akilan Annadurai in a light heavyweight bout without any titles on the line.

• Division/Weight: light heavy
• Steven Ferguson record: 2-0
• Akilan Annadurai record: 4-1
• Belts at stake: N/A

Steven Ferguson turned pro in 2023 and has maintained a perfect record of 2 wins, with both coming by knockout. He last fought Kearon Thomas, who had notably more experience but fewer wins overall, suggesting a matchup skewed towards struggle for his opponents based on their operational tiers. Against Annadurai, Ferguson's ability to quickly overwhelm may prove crucial given the weight difference from previous adversaries and prospective striking power capable of ending fights rapidly.

Akiland Annadurai started his professional career in 2021. With a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, half of his victories came by knockouts. His last fight was against Sanjay K, greatly less experienced with no prior wins. This fight history indicates that while Annadurai has had success against relatively inexperienced fighters, he might face a fresh challenge in testing Ferguson’s streak due to potentially being hindered by lesser aggressive power exhibited so far.

Renke Wittke vs Giorgi Kopadze Fight

Renke Wittke faces Giorgi Kopadze in a heavy weight clash with no titles on the line.

• Division/Weight: heavy
• Renke Wittke record: 2-0
• Giorgi Kopadze record: 5-12
• Belts at stake: N/A

Renke Wittke, a newcomer from Germany with all his fights stopped by knockouts, turned pro in April 2024 and has a record of 2 wins, 0 losses. His last victory was against Nikola Knezevic, whose record was far less impressive. With this dominance early on, Wittke might hold the upper hand due to his substantial knockout power when compared to Kopadze's inconsistent resistance.

Giorgi Kopadze from Georgia also brings potent KO power with an overall record of 5 wins and 12 losses. Despite a significant number of losses including his last against Avtandil Mdinaradze, it's notable that all his wins were by knockout. Facing Wittke could be challenging given his opponent’s swift rise and undefeated streak, reflecting on probable difficulties in overpowering someone with early unstoppable momentum.

Hakeem Palmer vs Neeraj Saini Fight

Hakeem Palmer faces Neeraj Saini in a middleweight class bout.

• Division/Weight: middle
• Hakeem Palmer record: 6-0
• Neeraj Saini record: 6-4
• Belts at stake: N/A

Hakeem Palmer, from the United Kingdom, turned professional in 2022 and has quickly built a record of 6 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw with 2 knockouts. Most recently, he won against Fernando Valencia who has a notably weaker record. Given Palmer's consistent performance against less challenging opponents, this fight promises he might leverage his undefeated streak but should remain cautious about Saini’s knockout capability.

Neeraj Saini, hailing from India with a professional start in 2019, holds a record of 6 wins and 4 losses with all victories coming by knockout. His last bout resulted in a loss to newcomer Parlad Singh, highlighting potential issues in taking matches to distance since it was decided on points. Against Palmer's unblemished record and lesser knockout power, Saini’s best chance lies in exploiting his dominant knockout approach to secure an early win.

Elija Uelkueseven vs Juma Misumali Fight

Elija Uelkueseven faces Juma Misumali in a light heavyweight bout.

• Division/Weight: light heavy
• Elija Uelkueseven record: 6-0
• Juma Misumali record: 8-7
• Belts at stake: N/A

Elija Uelkueseven turned pro in 2018 and has an undefeated record of 6-0-0, with five wins by knockout. His last fight was a technical knockout win against Stefan Tanackov, who held a less impressive record (4-9-0). Considering Tanackov's performance and Uelkueseven’s knockout power, Elija stands a good chance to dominate using his striking advantage in this upcoming fight.

Juma Misumali began his professional career in 2018. He holds a mixed record of 8-7-0, with three victories by knockout. Misumali lost his latest fight by unanimous decision against John Serunjogi, whose record was significantly better at 13-2-0. This pattern shows Misumali struggling against fighters with strong records, suggesting potential challenges when facing the undefeated Uelkueseven.
