Sandwiched in between a pair of first-round knockouts was a 10-round split decision loss to Julian Smith in 2024. Ergashev was supposed to face Hovhannes Bachkov in July but pulled out of the planned matchup on fight week because of a left hand injury.<\/p>\n<p>Jukembayev is riding a six-fight winning streak since suffering an eighth-round stoppage to Matias in 2021. Jukembayev fought only once last year, scoring a 10-round unanimous decision win against Kane Gardner in Kazakhstan. <\/p>\n<p>Manouk Akopyan is The Ring\u2019s lead writer.
