Undefeated super welterweight Tursynbay Kulakhmet (3-0, 2 KOs) returns to the ring on Saturday against Aleksei Evchenko (19-14-2, 8 KOs) at the Baluan Sholak Sports Palace in Almaty, Kazakhstan, in the main event on ESPN+.
Kulakhmet won the WBC International title in just his second professional fight, and trainer Jamie Moore says a world title shot is expected to come sooner rather than later. “I’ve been told by his management that the plan is for him to fight for a world title in seven fights, so if that’s the case we need to keep progressing and keep getting him ready.”
Has the international title and wants the world title. Seems like they should be the same thing except that would be one less champion.
I looked at a BT sport bill this weekend which features a WBO international title, a WBO inter-continental title and a WBO Global title. Again probably mean the same thing. Crazy.
