Rachman had a record of 6-2 with 3 knockouts including a fifth round KO over Filipino Pedrito Laurente on October 29, 2002. Laurente went on to win the OPBF super bantamweight defeating Japan’s Manabu Fukushima on August 16, 2003.
Rahman had earlier suffered a first round TKO at the hands of Diosdado Gabi on July 26, 2002 . Gabi later on fought but lost by an eighth round stoppage in an IBF flyweight title fight against hard-hitting champion Vic Darchinyan.
