- WSB Results - Saturday, 18 December 2023 - Macau, Macau — BeijingDragons Suffer 0-5 Home Drubbing from Astana Arlans -Things got off to an exciting start at the Venetian Hotel in Macao today with a tense bantamweight opener in which the scores were tied going into the final round. The visitors’ Bagdad Alimbekov was judged the winner of the final round by two of the judges and therefore took the victory on a split decision 47-48, 48-47, 48-47.

Alimbekov’s opponent explained the close defeat: “The opponent was a last minute substitute but sometimes things like that happen in boxing. I will learn that for my future matches.” — With the match already won, the Beijing Dragons’ two African internationals, light heavyweight Assane Faye and heavyweight Awusone Yekeni, were unable to salvage the valuable point offered by a 3:2 loss.
- Azerbaijani team Baku Fires continues to lead the Asian conference and extends its unbeaten series in WSB after defeating the Incheon Red Wings at the “Serhedchi” Olympic Sports Center on Saturday on a 4:1 final score. Last week the Fires overcame the Red Wings in their home match with the same score. At the moment Baku Fires is the only team in all conferences that did not lose a match. — The evening started with the bantamweight bout between Rahim Najafov from Baku Fires and Lukasz Adam Maszczyk from Incheon Red Wings. During the first three rounds both boxers showed almost equal performance with Najafov taking a slight edge. After the knockdown of Maszczyk in the fourth round it became very clear that Fires boxer was dominating the contest. In the last round Najafov only strengthened his position and took a victory on a unanimous decision (50:45, 50:45, 50:45).
- WSB Results - Friday, 17 December 2023 - France, Paris — ParisUnited Beat Istanbulls 4-1 at Home - As in the first home contest, Nordine Oubaali had to open the score for Paris United, which he did very well, improving his record in the World Series of Boxing to 2-0. The battle was bound to be hard for his opponent, Turkey’s Abdullah Dursun of the Istanbulls.
It is always important to score the first point in a contest of that size. Nordine Oubaali clearly understood it as he won his second fight in a row in the World Series of Boxing. France’s contestant entered this bout with extreme motivation, probably thanks to the support he enjoyed during the whole fight. He was very aggressive as soon as the opening bell rang, throwing a series of crosses and jabs right to Turkey’s Abdullah Dursun’s face. Oubaali never gave his opponent a chance.
- The Mexico City Guerreros found comfort at home once again Friday to break a two-match skid and earn a decisive 4-1 victory Friday over the visiting Miami Gallos to close out action in Week 4 of the World Series of Boxing in the Americas conference. — Action at the Centro Banamex resembled that of the Guerreros’ opening night when they trounced the Memphis Force, 5-0, to begin the season. But since then, the Guerreros had not fared so well on the road dropping contests to the Los Angeles Matadors, 5-0, and to the Miami Gallos last week, 3-2. — With the Guerreros returning two winning fighters to center stage for the first time since their season debut along with a 2008 Olympian competing for the first time, the Guerreros would have the upper hand on paper going in and would back that up with their action in the ring throughout the night as well.

Milano Thunder & Paris United
Vs
Milano Thunder opened the action at their home venue, the Palasharp, on Friday evening, welcoming former Olympic champion Brahim Asloum’s team Paris United. The visitors were unfazed by Milan’s strong line-up, featuring two Olympians and one world champion among their national boxers alone, and made a strong start as John Joe Nevin dismissed Olympic bronze medallist Vincenzo Picardi on a unanimous decision in the bantamweight opener.
“He’s an Olympic bronze medallist and I knew I was the underdog,” Nevin said. “But I’ve got a great team looking after me at Paris United and I’ve been learning some things. It’s great to get a victory over five rounds.”
After an easy win for world champion Domenico Valentino at lightweight, Sergiy Derevyanchenko cemented the home team’s lead with a devastating performance that ended with a technical knock-out in the first round of the middleweight contest. From there the action continued apace, with Paris United’s Ludovic Groguhe edging ahead to win the evening’s closest bout at light heavyweight.
“I’ve always wanted to box pro. I think it’s my style of boxing,” said the 24 year old from Strasbourg. “I was really well prepared and my trainers have been doing a good job over the past few months. It’s great to be training as a team because we can help each other.”
Clemente Russo, 2007 World Champion and 2008 Olympic silver medallist, put in a workmanlike performance to beat Zied Jouini in the heavyweight duel and seal the 3-2
victory for the home side.
.
Mexico City Guerreros & Memphis Force
Vs
Mexico City Guerreros powered ahead to a 5-0 shut-out on their opening home match, which Ivan Khodabakhsh, Chief Operating Officer for the WSB, who was in attendance, described as “an exciting start for WSB Americas”.
“The bouts were closer than the results showed and the fans got a great experience with this new, high-velocity style of boxing,” he continued. “So many people have worked tirelessly to launch the WSB and now that we’ve had two events, there’s a true sense of accomplishment. But much work remains in order for us to get where we want to be by season’s end.”
Long-time U.S. boxing analyst and former lightweight world champion Sean O’Grady had a front row seat to the WSB launch in Mexico City and claimed it a success: “I’ve been waiting 30 years for something like this to come along in this sport,” he proclaimed.
Led by head coach Francisco Bonilla, the Mexico City Guerreros featured a team comprised of four Mexican fighters, Brazilian Yamaguchi Florentino and a supportive mariachi band.
“In the beginning I was very nervous,” said Avila, who got the shutout started for the Guerreros. “It took me a moment to get through the emotions of the first couple rounds and adjust to this new style. All of this is very exciting with the music, format and all of our fans, but it’s a new experience. By the end, I felt strong.”
The Memphis Force had difficulty adjusting to the extreme altitude of Mexico City (7,350 feet) compared to Memphis which sits at 331 feet above sea level. Many of the Force boxers opened leads the first two rounds only to watch them disappear as the fights entered the latter rounds. Boxing for the Force were four U.S. fighters and Mongolian Olympian Munkh Erdene Uranchimeg.
“Guys had fights they could have won,” said Memphis Force head coach Anthony Bradley. “We learned a hard lesson tonight that this isn’t amateur boxing anymore and there’s a big difference in this type of style from what they are used to. They might have been good amateurs, but they now have to prove themselves in this new format. The altitude was a big factor but you can blame us for not doing the technical things to win the fights. We’ll be much better our next time out.”
.
Astana Arlans & Incheon Red Wings
Vs
The weekend’s third match saw another shut-out, as the Astana Arlans exploited their home advantage to the full against the Incheon Red Wings with five clear wins on points. Astana’s heavyweight international boxers completed the strong home contingent, with Ghana’s Maxwell Amponsah continuing his success from last month’s WSB Exhibition Match and Hungary’s Istvan Bernath getting his first taste of this new style of boxing in the heavyweight bout.
.
Beijing Dragons & Baku Fires
Vs
The Beijing Dragons got off to a shaky start on their first weekend, competing away to the Baku Fires at the Serhedchi Sport Complex in Baku. The team were unable to field the mandatory international boxer, having been unable to secure a re-entry visa to China for any of their international boxers three days before their opening bout - the deadline for team entries. To compound their problems, their light heavyweight Xuezhi Jiao came in a full 1.2 kilos under the minimum weight for the 80-85kg category.
This meant one walkover for Beijing after Magomed Abuldhamidov and Ramal Amanov had already taken the lead for the home team in the first two bouts. But in the end all three remaining bouts were adjudicated walkovers in favor of the Baku Fires after the Beijing boxers failed to enter the ring, handing the home team three points and putting them joint top of the Asia Conference with the Astana Arlans.
.
Istanbulls & Kremlin Bears
Vs
The final match of the weekend pitched the Istanbulls away to Moscow’s Kremlin Bears at the Barvikha Luxury Village on the outskirts of Moscow. The Istanbulls handed 18-year-old Selcuk Eker the responsibility of opening the action in the bantamweight contest. Eker opened with a win but the home team responded with two technical knock-outs in the lightweight and light heavyweight bouts and a win on points for Aptil Ustarhanov in the middleweight contest to give the Bears a 3-1 lead going into the heavyweight finale. But the Istanbulls’ Sivko Oleksiy salvaged a valuable point for the visitors by beating the 2009 Youth World Championship silver medalist, Arbi Madaev.

WSB Debuts This Weekend In Three Continents
World-class Boxers in the Mix for the First WSB Matches Worldwide
WSB Report: November 2010 - Switzerland, Lausanne.
The World Series of Boxing debuts this weekend with six matches being held across three continents. The Dolce & Gabbana Milano Thunder team has the honor of hosting the first-ever match this Friday evening against Paris United at the Palasharp on the outskirts of Milan. The Mexico City Guerreros will welcome Memphis Force hours later in the first match of the Americas conference. On Saturday, Moscow’s Kremlin bears host the Istanbulls at the Barvikha Luxury village and the first two matches in the Asia conference will take place, with the Astana Arlans taking on the Incheon Red Wings at home and the Beijing Dragons travelling to Azerbaijan to face the Baku Fires.
Milan has made a strong opening gambit, announcing a team that includes two Olympic medalists and a world champion - all of them Italian: Vincenzo Picardi (bantamweight), Domenico Valentino (lightweight) and Clemente Russo (heavyweight). Head coach Francesco Damiani has added two of his international contingent into the mix: Sergiy Derevyanchenko of the Ukraine and Nikolajs Grisunins of Latvia, who will be competing at middleweight (73kg) and light heavyweight (85kg) respectively.
Moscow’s Kremlin Bears take on the Istanbulls at the Barvikha Luxury Village on Saturday evening. The Moscow squad is the perfect WSB mix of experience and new talent, with heavyweight Arbi Madaev, silver medalist at the 2009 European Youth Championships and light heavyweight Zhavlonbek Usmanov, bronze medalist at the 2006 World Junior Championships 2006, joined by three young Russian boxers looking to make their international debut with the World Series of Boxing.
In the first WSB match in the Americas conference, the Mexico City Guerreros will welcome the Memphis Force to the World Trade Center for their first home match on Friday evening. Head coach Francisco Bonilla has chosen a young squad for the first encounter, but one in which the boxers nevertheless hold three medals from this year’s American Continental Championships between them. The second match in the Americas conference takes place next Tuesday, meaning that under WSB rules the Miami Gallos and Los Angeles Matadors have until Friday night to name their five-man selections for their encounter at the American Airlines Arena.
Ghana’s Maxwell Amponsah is destined for fame in Kazakhstan. After winning over the home crowd at the WSB Exhibition Match against the Istanbulls last month, the 24-year-old light heavyweight has been selected for the team’s first home match in the Asia Conference on Saturday against the Incheon Red Wings. While Amponsah is the only African competing in this weekend’s matches, Dongsik Seo is the only Korean in the Incheon side chosen for the opening match. Competing at bantamweight, he will be joined by an Uzbek, Bahodirjon Sultonov, at lightweight, two Moldovans, Victor Cotiujanschii and Mihael Muntean, at middleweight and heavyweight respectively, and Kiwi Reece Papuni, a quarter-finalist at this year’s Commonwealth Games in Delhi, at light heavyweight as the Incheon Red Wings pool their international talent.
The second match in the Asia conference sees the Beijing Dragons travel to Azerbaijan, where they will take on the Baku Fires at the Sarhadchi Olympic Center on Saturday evening. The home team’s line-up includes the Ukraine’s Denys Poyatsyka, bronze medalist at this year’s European Championships, as its mandatory international boxer, as well as two newly naturalized Azeri citizens. Middleweight Soltan Migitinov and heavyweight Magomedrasul Medzhidov have both competed for Russia, Medzhiov taking the gold medal at the 11th Umakhanov Memorial tournament in Makhachkala, Russia, last year.
The Beijing team is putting a firm emphasis on young talent, with the oldest member of its squad only 23 years old. Unfortunately, due to visa issues the team has been unable to field an international boxer and will therefore forfeit one bout under WSB rule 2.1.5, which requires at least one international boxer to compete for a team at each match.

WSB Boxing Results - Kazakhstan Victories
WSB – Results: Kazakhstan’s Astana Arlans overran their opposition the Turkish Istanbulls at the inauguration of the first exhibition test match between two teams from the WSB franchises. The event was held in occasion of the AIBA congress which is being held in Kazakhstan.
The home side put on a spectacular boxing display at the Almaty Sports Palace this evening, dominating all five of the weight categories to secure a 5-0 victory in the first-ever World Series of Boxing bout.
WSB Report: Sunday, 31 October 2023 - Kazakhstan, Almaty.
Opening the proceedings with a short speech, AIBA President C. K. Wu said that “the World Series of Boxing is a key element in AIBA’s vision for the future development of boxing. It will help boxers with their careers; it will provide a return on investment for the national federations who nurture its boxers; but most importantly it will change the perception of boxing.”
After Bagad Alimbekov took the opening victory in the 54kg bantamweight category, Yerzhan Mussafirov buoyed the Astana Arlans team even further with a technical knock-out against Mehmet Topçakan of the Istanbulls in the second round of the 61kg lightweight contest. Topçakan picked up two standing counts in the round, which requires the referee to stop the contest under the WSB competition rules.
“The first round was quite tough because I didn’t know my opponent,” Mussafirov said. But after the second round it started to get easier. In the second round he [Topçakan] seemed more tired and more open for me.”
The 73kg middleweight division saw a return to the ring for Kazakhstan’s Olympic Champion Bakhyt Sarsekbayev, who cruised to an easy victory over the Istanbulls’ team captain Onur Şipal. Sarsekbayev had little time for covering defence and seemed at ease in the ring.
“In a few years’ time, I think this is going to be a massive tournament,” Sipal said. “I was fighting against a champion and I will never forget this moment because I have written a piece of history. It was difficult to move up from 64kg and October was a very busy month for me with eight matches, including the World University Championships in Mongolia and the national championships in Turkey.”
Ghana’s Maxwell Amponsah enjoyed the vociferous backing of the home crowd as he put in a stylish performance to dismiss Onder Ozgül. Amponsah seems to have adapted well to life in Kazakhstan and even had a few Russian words ready for the local journalists.
“I’m happy that I won,” he said. “My opponent came here to fight and came at me with hard punches. I need more training because I’m hoping to win my fights. I’m not hoping to knock my opponents out, but I do need to train harder.”
In the fifth and final bout of the evening in the 91+kg heavyweight division, Serbian heavyweight Milutin Stankovic rounded off the strong start for the home team with a unanimous decision from the judges.

Ivan Khodabakhsh, chief executive of the WSB, said: “This was a very difficult decision to take with just over a month to go until the start of the first regular season.
“However, we were very fortunate to find an investor quickly in order to move forward with the WSB Asia Conference with all four teams without any problem.
“We would therefore like to welcome the Incheon Redwings to the WSB family.”
The Redwings will compete against the Astana Arlans, the Baku Fires and the Beijing Dragons from November this year.
The Redwings, which have the full backing of the Korean Amateur Boxing Federation under new president Sang Soo Ahn and the city of Incheon, will take over the international boxers previously signed by the Delhi franchise and will employ their own national boxers from South Korea in accordance with WSB rules.
The WSB, an initiative of the International Boxing Association (AIBA) and its president Dr C K Wu, is set to bring together the best of the amateur and professional boxing worlds.
