Josh Kelly's win means that he is now the IBF light-middleweight champion. But what next for the North East man?
Xander Zayas is the WBO champion of the division, and he faces Abass Baraou at the end of the month. That could be a fight Kelly is keeping an eye on for a potential match-up.
Bakhram Murtazaliev vs Josh Kelly: Live streaming results and updates, how to watch, start time
Bakhram Murtazaliev will defend the IBF super welterweight title against Josh Kelly in the main event today from Newcastle, England.
Bad Left Hook will be here with live results and updates, and we’ll be down in the comments section to chat as the card goes on.
Murtazaliev (23-0, 17 KO) won this title back in 2024, and thrashed Tim Tszyu in a first defense, but he’s been out of action about 15 months waiting to get a fight done. Kelly (17-1-1, 9 KO) is aiming to win his first world title, and will have home advantage in the UK.

All the info you need to know ahead of a huge fight night in Newcastle
The roof will come off the Utilita Arena in Newcastle when local fighter, Josh Kelly, enters the ring for his top-of-the-bill clash against Bakhram Murtazaliev this Saturday (January 31). Kelly will need to draw on that fervent support as he attempts to dethrone the IBF world super welterweight king and, in doing so, become the first fighter to beat the Russian, who now hails from Newbury Park, California.
It's been 15 months since we last saw Murtazaliev in action. The fearsome puncher made a successful first defence of his IBF belt by stopping Tim Tszyu inside three rounds in Orlando, Florida (October 2024). He had captured the title six months earlier, when KO’ing Jack Culcay in Germany. Having been away from the ring for so long, Murtazaliev will be keen to get back in the groove and put on a good performance in front of a hostile crowd.
