Tom Loeffler’s 360 Promotions Hollywood Fight Nights series has announced a middleweight main event on December 13. Sadriddin Akhmedov and Raphael Igbokwe will do battle over 10 rounds at the Chumash Casino Resort. The fight will be broadcast on UFC Fight Pass.
Undefeated Contender Sadriddin Akhmedov of Almaty, Kazakhstan now residing in Santa Monica, CA and Battle-Tested Veteran Raphael ‘Trouble’ Igbokwe, of Houston, TX set for Friday, December 13 at the beautiful Chumash Casino Resort and broadcast globally on UFC FIGHT PASS, the world’s leading digital subscription service for combat sports.
“We were very impressed by Sadriddin Akhmedov's Hollywood Fight Nights debut on August 31, scoring an impressive first round knockout,” said Loeffler. “Prior to turning professional he was part of the Kazakh National Boxing Team and earned a wealth of accolades as an amateur.”
“Raphael Igbokwe has faced top fighters throughout his career including Serhii Bohachuk and went the distance against Israil Madrimov and will provide a tough challenge for Akhmedov.
“With our previous Hollywood Fight Nights events selling out in advance at Chumash, I strongly encourage fans to purchase tickets before fight week to ensure entry on December 13.”
In his first fight on American soil, the 14-0 (12 KOs) Akhmedov scored a first-round knockout of Antonio Todd on August 31. His amateur success included over 200 wins while competing in numerous national and international tournaments in which he represented Kazakhstan.
Igbokwe, 17-5 (7 KOs), returns to the ring following a unanimous decision victory over previously undefeated Imaud Louis on October 7, 2023 in Houston, Texas. Though his record lacks the shine of Akhmedov’s, he is more battle-tested against elite opponents like Madrimov and Bohachuk, who have respectively challenged Terence Crawford and Vergil Ortiz Jnr.
Additional fights for the December 13 event will be announced shortly.
