Zauerbek and Jukembayev win in Kazakhstan

Sultan Zaurbek W10 Azinga Fuzile... At the Barys Arena in Astana, Kazakhstan, Sultan Zaurbek (20-0, 14 KOs) kept his perfect record intact with a dominant unanimous decision win over South Africa’s Azinga Fuzile. Over ten tactical rounds, the super featherweight standout controlled the pace, picked his shots with accuracy, and systematically shut down Fuzile’s offense. Judges saw it clearly in Zaurbek’s favor. Fuzile (18-3 with 12 KOs), known for his experience and grit, came in looking to spoil the party, but was consistently outgunned by Zaurbek’s clean combinations and footwork. The Kazakh fighter stayed a step ahead all night, proving he’s ready for bigger names on the world stage.
 
Batyrzhan Jukembayev W10 Kane Gardner... On the same show, Batyrzhan Jukembayev (22-1, 17 KOs) put on a near-flawless performance, cruising to a wide unanimous decision over Britain’s Kane Gardner in a ten-round junior welterweight bout. The judges had it 100-89 (twice) and 100-90—all in favor of Jukembayev (his one pro loss came at the hands of ex-champ Subriel Matias). Jukembayev was surgical in his approach, using movement, sharp angles, and a stiff jab to frustrate Gardner from the opening bell. Despite Gardner’s toughness and willingness to exchange, he couldn’t find a way to penetrate the Kazakh’s tight defense or match his output.
