I saw that Bakhodir Jalolov's last fight was organized by IBA Pro. I don't know much about this organization and wonder if it is organizing truly professional boxing matches? What is the value of the IBA Pro belt compared to the other well-known organizations?
It's the big Russian-run amateur league putting on their own five round pro fights. They are usually not recognized by the big four, but sometimes are, and they seem to have some sort of unholy alliance with the WBA. Suslenkov beat hunter in an IBA pro fight, for example, and it is not recognized by the pros. It was actually recognized for awhile on the WBA website, but they took it down. Boxrec has their own IBA pro tab.
Yeah I saw that on the Kuzmin card the other night. I'm pretty sure they said this fight wouldn't count on Kuzmin's or Khalidov's records because its not a pro fight, but it looked a lot like a pro fight to me.
They are pro fights. This content is protected That's a professional boxing match between two known professionals. It's not an exhibition. It's not an amateur fight. It's a professional boxing match.
