February twenty-eighth at Qazaqstan Track & Field Arena in Astana. The vacant WBC super middleweight Silver title will be on the line. Akhmedov is ranked #13 and Sulęcki is ranked #20 at 168lbs by the WBC. Both men stand 6'1" tall with 68" of reach. Common opponent: Gabriel Rosado - lost to Sulęcki via UD10 in 2019 (each man down twice) and to Akhmedov via UD10 (shutout) in 2022.
Undefeated southpaw welterweight prospect Daniyar Maratovich "Kazakh Thunder" Yeleussinov will also be in action, versus TBA. (per his manager they are still desperately looking for an opponent with just five days to go)
Akhmedov via decision. Suleci should still have enough left in him to keep Akhmedov honest, and go the full distance with him.
