Denis Pogodin
The defending champion is a physical specimen that is built for boxing. A client of the Soviet school of boxing, Pogodin’s class and exploits deserve to place him amongst the greats of bare-knuckle fighting. An unrelenting battler, he knows how to take the sting out from an opponent and deliver telling fists that stop his foes. Against Valery Zabotin at TDFC12, he overcame the aggression and shoving of Zabotin to deliver stunning fists in round two for the TKO.

Adilzhan Sandibekov
‘Ados’ is a very talented young fighter who is not afraid to take on older and bigger men in battle. He is fast with a head movement, making it difficult to land strikes on him. His jab is so effective and comes out of nowhere. He will need his speed to reach Pogodin, who has a reach advantage. Adilzhan is an interesting fighter who fights with a smile and is ready to acknowledge the opponent when they hit him. He has a lot in his arsenal, including his clinch and shoulder strikes. He is certainly a future welterweight champion.
