Russian light heavyweight Igor Mikhalkin (now 25-3) beat Dilmurod Satybaldiev (13-3) on points last weekend (November 12) in Moscow. A good win for the former IBO and EBU champ.
However, this fight is not listed on the official report from the show from the Russian Federation nor is the result up at BoxRec. As to why, well, it’s reportedly because some people want it to go down as an “exhibition” as the “wrong man” won.

WBC International Bridgerweight champion and promoter Kem Ljungqvist (14-0) headlines his next promotion which goes ahead May 5 at the Dollefjelde Musse Market. This is one of the biggest flea markets in Denmark and for 2023 they have opted for a professional boxing event instead of a musical act. The plan is to stage the show midday and have it over by 16.00, writes knock-out.dk.

German super lightweight Timo Schwarzkopf (21-5) headlines his own show on December 17 in Wengen and meets former IBF champ Miguel Vazquez (44-11). The Mexican has seen better days it seems but still looks like a tough choice of opponent by the promoter.

Heavyweights Jack Mulowayi (12-3-1) and Granit Shala are co-challengers for the vacant EU title. The EBU has set December 6 as the deadline for purse bids.
Mulowayi is best known for his upset stoppage win over Apti Davtaev, 20-0-1 coming in, in 2021 but was knocked out by Bakhodir Jalolov earlier this year.
Shala is promoted by AGON Sports and has been carefully moved and so far so good and he shows very good timing and hand speed – but only three early endings in 14 fights indicates a lack of punching power.
