One of Russia’s most accomplished boxers, Muslim Gadzhimagomedov (104-7, 11 KOs), will face Mexican heavyweight Kevin Martinez (14-1, 10 KOs) in a ten-round contest at IBA.PRO 19 in Moscow at VTB Arena.

An Olympic silver medallist, world champion in the amateur ranks as well as 3 times IBA World Championships gold medalist, Gadzhimagomedov has established himself as one of the leading names to emerge from the IBA system. Since turning professional, the Russian has remained unbeaten, combining elite amateur pedigree with growing confidence in the professional ranks. 

The bout will see Gadzhimagomedov tested by a determined opponent from Mexico. Martinez has built his reputation on aggressive pressure and finishing ability, recording the majority of his victories inside the distance. Having already competed in high-profile international contests, including an IBO world title challenge, the Mexican arrives in Moscow looking for the biggest win of his career.

For Gadzhimagomedov, the bout represents another important step as he continues to balance world-level championship ambitions with appearances on the IBA Pro stage, where Olympic and world-class amateur stars transition into the professional ranks.

The clash also continues IBA Pro’s tradition of matching elite Russian talent against experienced international opposition, giving fans a compelling Russia-versus-Mexico encounter between two athletes with contrasting styles. Gadzhimagomedov’s technical precision and ring IQ will be measured against Martinez’s aggression and knockout power in what promises to be an entertaining ten-round contest.

Gadzhimagomedov’s clash with Martinez forms part of a star-studded IBA.PRO 19 card, headlined by Gassiev – Yoka encounter. The event will bring together Olympic medallists, world champions and top international contenders for another showcase of elite professional boxing under the IBA Pro banner.
