Lausanne, Switzerland — The fight card for IBA.PRO 20 continues to take shape as two of Russia’s rising professional stars, Sergey Sergeev and Sergey Lubkovich, prepare to step into the ring on August 14 in Naberezhnye Chelny.
One of the main attractions of the evening will see 2023 Russian champion, 2024 BRICS Games gold medallist and 2026 Russian Cup winner Sergey Sergeev (2-0, 2 KOs) take on Tajikistan’s Nekruz Salimov (1-0, 1 KO) in a six-round contest for the Mayor of Naberezhnye Chelny Cup.
The bout marks a homecoming for the 25-year-old Sergeev, who was born in Naberezhnye Chelny. After his last official professional appearance in August 2025, Sergeev represented Team Kama at the 2026 Victory Cup before returning to the professional ranks in front of his home crowd.
Salimov brings significant international credentials into the contest. The Tajik boxer claimed silver at the 2022 Asian U22 Championships and represented his country at the 2023 and 2025 IBA Men’s World Boxing Championships. At the most recent World Championships in Dubai, he reached the quarter-finals before losing to two-time Olympic champion Arlen Lopez. Salimov has also recorded two victories under the IBA.PRO banner.
Another major matchup will feature undefeated Russian contender Sergey Lubkovich (20-0-2, 12 KOs), who faces Uzbekistan’s unbeaten Khavasbek Asadulaev (8-0, 5 KOs) in a ten-round ranking contest.
Lubkovich returns following a draw against Michael King of DR Congo in an IBF Asia title contest earlier this year. Asadulaev has already established himself as one of the standout performers in IBA.PRO, earning victories over Alan Khugaev and current IBO champion Vadim Musaev.
The event will also feature the professional debut of 2026 Russian Cup winner and 2025 Russian Championship finalist Rasul Magomedov, who takes on Cuba’s Victor Perez in a six-round welterweight contest.
In the main event, reigning 2025 world champion Djambulat Bizhamov (3-0) will face Serbia’s Vladimir Mironchikov (8-0, 6 KOs), the 2021 World Championships bronze medallist, for the IBF European Super Middleweight title.
Another IBF European belt will be on the line when unbeaten Russian Chingiz Natyrov (10-0, 5 KOs) meets 2019 world champion Mirazizbek Mirzakhalilov (5-0, 4 KOs) of Uzbekistan in the super bantamweight division.
The card also includes two IBF Youth championship bouts, with Ruslan Selimyan (14-0, 8 KOs) facing Uganda’s Bob Turyatemba (14-0, 7 KOs), while Mikhail Grigoryan (9-0, 2 KOs) takes on Uganda’s Henry Otemba (9-1, 5 KOs).
