"Right to the bone." New details emerge about the tough victory of Kazakhstan's MMA star in a boxing match.

"It was extremely difficult. The fight was intense, pushing everyone to their limits. The referee had already stopped Fanil, but the organizers insisted, 'Let’s have one more round and see how it goes.' Of course, we prioritized the health of the athlete, but Fanil showed remarkable courage and made the decision to continue the fight himself. I want to congratulate all the fans who came out to witness this spectacle. This match was the highlight of the entire tournament. I hope we will see a showdown between these two top competitors in this weight class in the future," said Eduard Bazrov.
