Turkish boxing update

Azerbaijani heavyweight Taryel Jafarov will take on Venezuela's Klismans Bolano on September 27th in Fethiye, Turkiye. The fight serves as the chief support to the Hasan Kubilay Alcu vs. Luciano Falcao cruiserweight main event, which headlines the card promoted by TJ Boxing Promotions. Jafarov (39-8 with 37 KOs) turned pro in 2017 and has boxed all over the world, including in Georgia, Russia, Pakistan, Ghana, Dubai, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Kazakhstan, Egypt and Bosnia & Herzegovina, besides his native Azerbaijan and several times in Turkey. In the process he has campaigned at both heavyweight and cruiserweight. With five straight victories. Bolano (8-1, 7 KOs), is a dangerous obstacle for him. The 34-year-old is hungry to rebound, after losing his last bout to Octavio Pudivitr in Colombia. Jafarov is clearly the favorite going in, but Bolano has made it clear that he is coming to Turkey to cause an upset.
 
As for the main event, it will be a battle of undefeated, as Falcao is 11-0 and Kubilay Alcu is 18-0 but both are largely untested. Kubilay Alcu has the advantage, as heis fighting in his hometown.
