Arthur Biyarslanov to Fight for Vacant IBF World Title Against Lindolfo Delgado in Riyadh

JKSM Agents is proud to confirm that undefeated super lightweight Arthur "The Chechen Wolf" Biyarslanov will fight for the vacant IBF super lightweight world title against unbeaten Mexican Lindolfo Delgado on 31 October in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The bout lands on one of the biggest cards of the year, a Riyadh Season "Mexico vs the World" event headlined by Canelo Álvarez against Christian Mbilli. Biyarslanov and Delgado will contest the IBF strap that became vacant when Richardson Hitchins moved up to welterweight, meaning a new champion will be crowned on the night.

It is a career-defining opportunity for the 21-0 (17 KOs) southpaw. A former Canadian Olympian, Biyarslanov has built his reputation on relentless pressure and genuine knockout power, stopping the majority of his professional opponents on his rise up the rankings. Standing across from him is the unbeaten Delgado, a heavy-handed Mexican prospect who arrives with his own perfect record and world-title ambitions, with a record of 24-0-0 (16 KOs).

Two undefeated fighters, a vacant world title, and the sport’s brightest lights in Riyadh, this is exactly the kind of stage the JKSM roster is built for. Follow along here for fight-week updates, the official weigh-in and full results.
