However, his unblemished record shows he faces challenges effectively. With past opponents having zero recorded fights makes drawing direct conclusions difficult.

Josh Kelly boasts a 17-1-1 record since turning pro in 2017. While his record includes one loss and draw, his adaptability is evident. Kelly’s rapid advancement in super welter lends hope against a flawless contender like Murtazaliev.

Josh Padley vs Jaouad Belmehdi Fight

  • Division/Weight: super feather
  • Josh Padley record: 17-1
  • Jaouad Belmehdi record: 23-2
  • Belts at stake: EBU European Super Featherweight Title

Josh Padley and Jaouad Belmehdi face off for the EBU European Super Featherweight Title.

Josh Padley turned pro with a promising career marked by 17 wins and only 1 loss. His recent matches showcase consistent skill in the super featherweight division, despite no knockout wins. His past opponent, less experienced with 5 losses in comparison, suggests Padley faces a step up against Belmehdi's record.

Jaouad Belmehdi brings more experience with 23 wins, 2 losses, and 3 draws. Though his knockout power is minimal, his fight history indicates resilience. Facing Padley, who has fewer losses, Belmehdi’s experience may provide an edge.

Josh Blenkiron vs Robbie Colman Fight

  • Division/Weight: light
  • Josh Blenkiron record: 7-0
  • Robbie Colman record: 7-0
  • Belts at stake: BBBC Northern Area Lightweight Title

Josh Blenkiron will face Robbie Colman for the BBBC Northern Area Lightweight Title.

Josh Blenkiron, known as 'Blenka,' turned pro recently and remains undefeated with a record of 7 wins and a draw. His fights show strong consistency without knockouts, indicating endurance. With no titles yet to his name, this match is crucial. His previous opponents lacked Colman's level of experience, suggesting this fight may be his toughest challenge.

Robbie Colman, 'The Showman,' also maintains a perfect record with 7 wins. Like Blenkiron, he has not scored any knockouts but shows tenacity in the ring. His opponents aligned closely with Blenkiron's skill level. This suggests their match will likely display equal competition.

Elif Nur Turhan vs Taylah Gentzen Fight

  • Division/Weight: light
  • Elif Nur Turhan record: 12-0
  • Taylah Gentzen record: 8-1
  • Belts at stake: IBF World Female Lightweight Title

Elif Nur Turhan faces Taylah Gentzen for the IBF World Female Lightweight Title.

Elif Nur Turhan turned pro with an unbeaten record of 12 wins. She stands as a dominant force in the lightweight division. Her previous opponents share similar stats in the weight class, suggesting she can potentially maintain her winning streak against Gentzen.

Taylah Gentzen holds an 8-1 record since turning pro. She displays resilience and skill, with notable past fights enhancing her reputation. However, compared to Turhan’s unbeaten record, Gentzen may face challenges given her single previous loss at this weight class implies potential vulnerabilities.

Leo Atang vs Amine Boucetta Fight

  • Division/Weight: heavy
  • Leo Atang record: 3-0
  • Amine Boucetta record: 9-17
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Leo Atang faces Amine Boucetta, with no belts on the line.

Leo Atang is a promising newcomer. He turned pro recently with an undefeated record of 3 wins. His height and reach at 198 cm give him an advantage. As he has not fought known opponents yet, the fight's dynamics remain unpredictable against the more seasoned Boucetta.

Amine Boucetta, "The Beast," brings experience into the ring with a longer record featuring 9 wins but 17 losses. Though his record shows inconsistency, his previous matches might boost his performance over an inexperienced opponent like Atang.

Brad Casey vs Lee Roberts Fight

  • Division/Weight: cruiser
  • Brad Casey record: 3-0
  • Lee Roberts record: 1-3
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Brad Casey faces Lee Roberts in a cruiserweight bout with no belts on the line.

Brad Casey, 21, is undefeated with a 3-0 record since turning pro. He currently resides in York, Yorkshire. He won his last three fights but has one drawback: none of his victories came by knockout. He remains untested against more experienced opponents. This fight could change that narrative since Lee is slightly older and has fought against more seasoned fighters.

Lee Roberts, 32, stands at 1-3 overall and fights out of Edgware, England. Despite losing three bouts, he possesses experience from previous competitive matchups that may challenge Casey in durability. Roberts's experience provides him a chance to capitalize on Casey’s limited exposure to seasoned competitors in this weight class.

Kiaran MacDonald vs Marius Vysniauskas Fight

  • Division/Weight: bantam
  • Kiaran MacDonald record:
  • Marius Vysniauskas record: 3-26
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Kiaran MacDonald will face Marius Vysniauskas in the bantamweight division, with no belts on the line.

Kiaran MacDonald turned pro and showcases his skills in the bantamweight class. With no detailed fight history or notable achievements listed, his current standing remains unknown. Without data on past opponents, it's difficult to evaluate his potential against Vysniauskas.

Marius Vysniauskas comes with a fight record of 3 wins and 26 losses. Standing at 168 cm, Vysniauskas has struggled in previous bouts, possibly suggesting challenges against fighters like MacDonald. His experience could be a factor as he attempts to change his losing streak.

Lee Rogers vs Erik Lopez Fight

  • Division/Weight: super bantam
  • Lee Rogers record: 6-0
  • Erik Lopez record: 20-34
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Lee Rogers will face Erik Lopez in a super bantamweight fight with no belts on the line.

Lee Rogers, alias "Roy," has an unblemished record of 6 wins, no losses, and no draws. He turned pro recently and is based in Birtley, Tyne and Wear, England. Given that his opponent’s past performance shows minimal recent success against fighters with more experience, Rogers stands a good chance to extend his winning streak.

Erik Lopez, known as "Habanerito," has a record of 20 wins and 34 losses. He fights out of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. With previous opponents also in the super bantam range but more challenging than Rogers' career thus far, Lopez needs significant improvement to win against an undefeated boxer.
