Murat Gassiev vs. Peter Kadiru live results, round-by-round updates, ring walks, start time for WBA title fight
Uncrowned has Murat Gassiev vs. Peter Kadiru live results, round-by-round updates, highlights, ring walks and start time for the Gassiev vs. Kadiru fight card on Saturday at the VTB Arena in Moscow, Russia. In the night’s main event, newly crowned champion Murat Gassiev defends his WBA heavyweight title against Peter Kadiru.
Gassiev (33-2, 26 KOs), a former unified cruiserweight champion, was elevated to full WBA heavyweight champion after Oleksandr Usyk relinquished his titles last month.
Gassiev captured the WBA Regular title this past December with a brutal sixth-round knockout win over former title challenger Kubrat Pulev. The Russian has had eight fights at heavyweight, losing just once, to Otto Wallin in a 2023 IBF title eliminator.
Germany’s Kadiru (23-1, 13 KOs) has won nine bouts since his lone career defeat, a first-round knockout loss to journeyman Marcos Antonio Aumada in late 2022. Kadiru was last in action this past May, winning a competitive decision over Senad Gashi.
In the co-feature, Joe Joyce (16-4, 15 KOs) returns from a 15-month layoff to battle Russia’s Artem Suslenkov (14-0, 9 KOs) in a 10-round heavyweight bout.
