Imam Khataev vs Ricards Bolotniks - Date, Start time, Fight Card, Location

Imam Khataev and Ricards Bolotniks will face off in a light-heavyweight boxing match at the RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia. This undercard bout precedes the main event featuring Vasyl Lomachenko and George Kambosos Jr.

Khataev, a formidable newcomer with an undefeated record, started his professional career in 2021 and has knocked out all six of his opponents thus far.

Bolotniks turned pro in 2013 and has fought 28 bouts with a mix of victories and defeats. His resilience against a diverse lineup, including a technical loss to Oleksandr Gvozdyk last May and a unanimous decision win over Tomas Bezvoda in December, showcases his experience.

Considering Khataev’s rapid success marked by total knockout victories against every opponent, Bolotniks' extensive experience could be challenged under Khataev's aggressive approach. Both fighters share an orthodox stance and fight within the same weight class but unmatched freshness on Khataev’s side might tip the scales.
