Rising star Imam Khataev will face Ezequiel Osvaldo Maderna for the NABF Light Heavyweight Title at Casino de Montreal in Canada. The match serves as an undercard to the main event featuring Movladdin Biyarslanov and Marcos Villasana.
Turning professional only three years ago in 2021, Imam Khataev has already built an undefeated record, with all his wins by knockout. Most recently, he defeated Ricards Bolotniks in May following victories over Michal Ludwiczak and Fernando Galvan, signaling a rapid rise given the TKO results. In contrast, Ezequiel Osvaldo Maderna, who began his career in 2008, comes from a decision loss against Vasily Voytsekhovsky but scored TKO wins before that, highlighting his strength but inconsistency in recent matchups.
