Izmailov vs Fayfer
[edit]In his sixth professional bout, Izmailov took on the very experienced Ruslan Fayfer. Despite being predicted to struggle, Izmailov dominated the fight from start to finish. After a big round seven where Fayfer was rocked multiple times, Izmailov finished him off in the ninth round. He staggered Fayfer, causing the referee to jump in and wave it off.[1]
Izmailov vs Foster
[edit]Izmailov faced unbeaten American Charles Foster for the IBF–USBA light-heavyweight title. Despite being a big favourite with a high knockout ratio, Izmailov failed to get the stoppage, though he did manage to drop the American in the fifth round. Izmailov won by unanimous decision, capturing the vacant regional title. After the fight, Izmailov accused Foster of excessive holding[2]
Izmailov's next fight is scheduled for February 28, 2025 against Habib Ahmed in his native Russia. It will be his first time fighting in Russia since 2019.[3]
