In addition to the main event, Alalshikh announced a series of thrilling matches that will light up the arena that night. Leading these will be the fight between Ukrainian Serhii Bohachuk, who boasts a record of 24 wins (23 by knockout), and Uzbekistan's Israil Madrimov, who has 10 victories (seven by knockout), in what promises to be one of the evening's most intense bouts. The fans will also witness a powerful clash between undefeated Johnny Fisher, with 12 wins (11 by knockout), and the experienced David Allen, who has 31 fights under his belt, as they both strive for dominance and advancement toward major titles. Boxing fans are eagerly awaiting an exciting face-off between Dennis McCann and Peter McGrail, with the former seeking to extend his record to 16 wins, and the latter aiming for his 11th victory. Another fight drawing attention will be the showdown between Isaac Lowe and Lee McGregor; Lowe brings vast experience, with 30 fights, while McGregor has an impressive record of 14 wins, including 11 by knockout.
