Russia’s Sharabutdin Ataev and Argentina’s Brian Nahuel Suarez will meet on Friday, September 6 in Chelyabinsk, Russia, for the WBA Gold light heavyweight title.
In one of the main fights of the show, the super featherweight eliminator between Armenian Zhora Hamazaryan and Russian Elnur Samedov; and the WBA International bantamweight title between Vadim Tukov and Magomed Madiev will also be at stake.
