Be on the look out for this young gun. His stamina will soon be wordly famous.
Artur Grigorjian has been the most succesful campaigner yet from this barren Asian nation. The lightweight has gone 35(22)-0, and tallied 17 succesful defences of his WBO crown, but he could be about to be eclipsed. Ruslan Chagaev, a real handful, is one of the most feared among the crop of young fighters progressing towards the higher echelons of the suddenly wide open heavyweight rankings, and Timur and Sultan Ibragimov are hot on his heels. Although Oleg Maskaev is on the way down, he's still a respected force, and light-middleweight Kuvanych Toygonbayev is now 17(11)-1, and still improving. But the pick of the bunch is undoubtedly Mohamed Abdulaev (left). The unbeaten light-welter, who topped Ricardo Williams and Miguel Cotto on the way to Olympic Gold, had already crashed the world rankings and looks headed for the top.
