Ibf junior average weight champion Bakhram Murtazaliev says no one wants to “organize” his IBF’s organized title protection against Erikson Lubin.
For this fight to happen, the PBC will need some dates to show it, and a great chief leader to connect it to the pair. Murtazalievas-Lubin is not a big enough fight in itself to be the main attraction.
Canelo-crawford sub-card needs bakhram
What Murtazalievia and Lubin needs Turks Alalshikh To materialize and add them to one of his Riyadh season cards. Even if their fight is buried in one of the maps, at least it will be made.
The perfect place would be Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford Card on September 13. This is an event in which the sub -card is absolutely of quality. This is essentially the main event wrapped in a drop -down map.
Murtazaliev-Lubin’s addition to the event would be an immediate improvement, possibly even outperforming the main event in terms of entertainment value. You can count on Murtazaliev and Lubin going to war. We already know that Crawford is about to box Canelo and borrow from the Mayweather Playbook. Bakhrams against Lubin’s saved day.
Brother @Ericksonhammerl No one wants to organize our fight? 🤣

Understanding Bakkhram (23-0, 17 Kos) has been unsuccessful, since October last year, former WBO 154 pound champion Tim Tszyu has been hit. He has dealt with a hand injury and fight against Josh Kelly and Vergil Ortiz the latest, unable to implement. Now it is a broadcast issue that delays Murtazaliev’s title protection against Lubin (27-2, 19 Kos).
Why do Bakhram Murtazaljeva avoid
The reputation that Bakhram has developed as a 154 -pound division Boogeyman is another reason why he has failed to benefit from his victory over Tszyu. The way he destroyed Tim intimidates the other best fighters. None of the big words wanted to fight him.
It looks like Murtazaliev will sit for more than a year before he finally fights. October will be a year since his victory over tszyu. At this speed, Bakhru might be lucky if he was fighting in 2026.
Lubin cannot be happy about it. He has returned to IBF’s mandatory position, winning the last three battles after he was stopped in the ninth round of Sebastian Fundora in 2022. This fight was a big failure for Erikson, as he returned from his confusing first round killed in Jermell Charlo 2017, winning the last six battles before defeating to Fundor.
