He is riding a four bout winning streak, all of the bouts coming in his native Russia, most recently knocking out former world title challenger Justin Juuko in the second round on November 15, 2008, capturing the IBA Lightweight title.

In his last bout in the United States, Nugaev brutally knocked out undefeated prospect Anthony Mora in the fifth round on March 3, 2006. The fight was broadcast live on Showtime from Santa Ynez, California ..

Wins on his ledger include notable names such as Daniel Alicea, Efren Hinojosa, Allen Vester, Darling Jimenez and Martin Honorio.

Although his last four bouts have been in Russia, we’re confident that his action packed style of fighting will make him a favorite in Reno and the rest of the United States .”
