Potapov stays busy with TKO in Moscow

Nikolai Potapov TKO5 Nasibu Ramadhani... Russian bantamweight Nikolai Potapov returned to action late last week in Moscow with a fifth-round technical knockout win over Tanzania's Nasibu Ramadhani. Fighting on a card presented by Shamo Boxing at the Korston Club Hotel, Potapov (21-2-1, 12 KOs), of Podolsk, Russia, worked past a headbutt-induced cut near his left eye. He wobbled the aggressive Ramadhani (29-14-2, 16 KOs) in the second round with a three-punch combination and continued to dominate until the stoppage. “I am glad to get the work and the win,” said Potapov. “I would like to come back to the US and get another opportunity to fight for the world title.”  The fight was Potapov’s first since his controversial decision loss to Joshua Greer last July. Potapov’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita, says the capable Russian is gearing up for another assault on the 118-pound division’s best. “I am glad Nikolai got some work in and was able to score an impressive TKO victory. The bantamweight division is heating up and he is up there with the best in the weight class. I look forward to a great 2020 for Nikolai.”  source: salita promotions
