Akhmedov's return set in March in Florida

Kazakh prospect Ali Akhmedov (16-1, 12 KOs) hopes to return to the ring on March 12 in Florida, USA against an opponent and venue to be determined.

Akhmedov comes from being unexpectedly and surprisingly defeated by Ecuadorian Carlos Góngora (19-0, 14 KOs) on December 19, 2020 in Hollywood, Florida for the vacant IBO super middleweight title. He suffered an unexpected defeat by knockout. Akhmedov belongs to GGG Promotions and trains with Jonathan Banks.
