Boxing enthusiasts were treated to a spectacular evening in Abu Dhabi, presented by promoter Ahmed AM Seddiqi over DAZN. The card was stacked with promising talents and seasoned fighters, ensuring edge-of-the-seat action for fans from around the world.
In an electrifying main event in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Bader “The Master” Samreen (9-0, 8 KOs) showcased his prowess by halting Jose “Cuate” Paez Gonzales (16-2-2, 12 KOs) in the fifth round. The early rounds saw Gonzales taking the offensive, but Samreen’s counterattacks were decisive. A turning point came in the fourth when a combination from Samreen sent Gonzales to the mat. Despite Gonzales’ attempts to fight back, Referee David Irving stepped in, sealing Samreen’s win.
The co-main event was a rollercoaster as super flyweight Sultan Al Nuaimi (10-0, 6 KOs) overcame an initial setback to clinch a win against Jemsi Kibazange (18-7-3, 5 KOs). Despite being floored in the opening round, Nuaimi rallied and took control. By the seventh, he had Kibazange on the ropes, with the latter spending the final rounds evading Nuaimi's relentless attacks. The unanimous decision favored Nuaimi.
In the undercard, in a cruiserweight clash, Mohammed “The Destroyer” Bekdash (26-0, 23 KOs) lived up to his name against Musa "Dynasor” Ntege (8-5, 6 KOs). Bekdash, employing his southpaw stance, downed Ntege twice in the inaugural round, leading Referee Andredi Chevelov to call an early end to the bout. Super featherweight Bishara Sabbar (7-0, 4 KOs) squared off against southpaw Mohd Azahar (8-6-1, 7 KOs) for the WBC Youth Silver title. Sabbar dominated the early exchanges, pressing Azahar consistently. Even as Azahar tried to rally in the fifth, Sabbar’s control was evident, resulting in a unanimous decision in his favor. Also, welter Olympian Marwan Mohamad Madboly (3-0, 2 KOs) dispatched southpaw Sheldon Schultz (4-5, 4 KOs) swiftly. Madboly’s aggressive start culminated in a left hook that sent Schultz to the canvas in the first round, with the referee counting him out.
