Russian welterweight Marat Khuzeev (14-1-1, 5 KOs) will try to make another step towards worldwide recognition this night at Zimniy Stadium, St. Petersburg, Russia, as he takes on undefeated but unknown Egyptian Tarek Ablazim (6-0, 4 KOs) in ten-rounder for the minor IPBF 147 lbs title. Khuzeev is coming off the March setback, suffered from the hands of world-rated Dane Reda Zam Zam. Despite fighting only sixteen times in a career, Khuzeev has a huge experience in fighting the qualified opposition. He scored decisions over such notables as Joszef Matolcsi and Christian Bladt and has a draw with fellow contender Sergey Sorokin to his resume.
