Advanced by GGG Advancements, Akhmedov’s greatest vocation win so far came in late 2022, as he crushed veteran Gabriel Rosado for the IBF North American and WBC Silver Super Middleweight Titles by a predominant 10-round choice at the T Versatile Field in Las Vegas, on the undercard of his legend and comrade, Gennady Golovkin’s, last battle against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Akhmedov’s latest ring appearance was a speedy second-round knockout of Venezuela’s then 26-3-1 Carlos Rivero in April of this current year.
