Kelly vs Murtazaliev - Kelly digs deep to get past domestic rival in stadium showdown

Josh Kelly has a huge opportunity next weekend when he goes for the IBF super-welterweight title on January 31 against Bakhram Murtazaliev, live on DAZN. 

It is almost five years since Kelly lost to David Avanesyan, but the Sunderland man has rebounded impressively, and he is now on the verge of becoming world champion against the hard-hitting Murtazaliev. 

On his way to this fight, Kelly has registered some solid wins including a points win over Ishmael Davis in 2024. 

You can watch highlights of that fight below.
