In an exclusive interview with marvelbetgames.com, German boxer Artur Mann expressed surprise at Russian fighter Bakhram Murtazaliev’s victory over Australian Tim Tszyu.

He’s a good boxer and a fighter who doesn’t give up. He recently beat Tim Tszyu, and that shocked me. He finished the fight quickly, within three rounds. It will be tough for Murtazaliev against Crawford, but he’s already a world champion, so well done.

The 31-year-old Bakhram Murtazaliev won the vacant IBF super welterweight world title in 2024 by defeating Jack Culcay in Germany. He later defended his belt against Australian Tim Tszyu in the United States. The Russian now holds a perfect record of 23 wins and zero losses.
