MightyTips ambassador Jevgenijs ‘The Hurricane’ Aleksejevs claims the IBO European middleweight title
Undefeated Latvian boxer and MightyTips ambassador Jevgenijs ‘The Hurricane’ Aleksejevs won the IBO European middleweight belt as he defeated Misto Abdulaev from Germany on 28 September 2024 and took his career record to 17-0-0.
Aleksejevs claimed a convincing victory, securing the IBO title by TKO in the final minute of the second round at the Trofeu de Boxing Fira de Canals tournament in Canals, Valencia.
How it happened
From the opening bell, the 31-year-old Latvian imposed his will on the fight. Working as the aggressor, Aleksejevs launched a series of combinations aimed at Abdulaev’s body and head. He seized the centre of the ring and soon sent Abdulaev to the canvas, setting the tone for the remainder of the bout.
The second round began in an identical fashion. Aleksejevs unleashed a barrage of strikes from the outset, varying his angles expertly. His relentless attack led to three more knockdowns, with the referee stepping in after the final one to stop the fight.
It was an unquestionable victory for the MightyTips ambassador, who demonstrated his knockout power and tactical skill ending Abdulaev’s undefeated streak emphatically.
What did The Hurricane say
“It is my first title, and it is an amazing feeling, I am on cloud nine. We had two strategies for this fight. If he started slow, we would rush it with strong jabs, which was how it went eventually. If he rushed it, we were going to stop him [with shots] to the body. I just tried to do what the coach told me. When I landed my jab on his face for the first time, I knew it would be my night.”
“Now I need to take a break, go hiking in the mountains alone, and look back at what I’ve achieved. Then start preparing for the next fight. I dream of fighting on the big stage, like Matchroom Boxing or American promotions. This was just the first step.”
