Azerbaijani veteran Taryel Jafarov will take on Venezuelan Klismans Bolano for the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) International Heavyweight title on September 27 in Fethiye, Turkey.
The fight serves as the chief support to the Hasan Kubilay Alcu vs. Luciano Falcao WBF world Cruiserweight title fight, which headlines the card promoted by TJ Boxing Promotions.
Jafarov, 39-8 (37), turned pro in 2017 and has boxed all over the world, including in Georgia, Russia, Pakistan, Ghana, Dubai, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Kazakhstan, Egypt and Bosnia & Herzegovina, besides his native Azerbaijan and several times in Turkey.
In the process he has captured various titles and boxed some top-class opponents, at both Heavyweight and Cruiserweight. With five straight victories he is now ready to add the WBF belt to his collection.
However, Klismans Bolano, 8-1 (7), is a dangerous obstacle for him. The 34-year-old is hungry to rebound, after losing his last bout for the WBC Latino Cruiserweight title to Octavio Pudivitr in Colombia.
Jafarov is clearly the favourite going in, but Bolano has made it clear that he is coming to Turkey to cause an upset!
