Rakhimov is a perfect 15-0 and has won 12 bouts by knockout. He currently holds the IBO super featherweight title, which he won by besting Emanuel Lopez in 2017. The Russian has looked impressive in his young boxing career and has showcased plenty of power, but his lack of experience could hurt him here.
