In a surprisingly good fight, Rakhim Chakhkiev came to France & took the IBO CW belt from Taoufik Belbouli via a 15UD - 145-139, 144-140, 145-140.
Rakhim's early aggression seemed to surprise the French champion & the Russian sent Taoufik to the canvas once early in the fight. From there on, Rakhim was content to outbox the defending champ & earned the UD.
The now former champ drops to 10-1 & Rakhim moves to 5-0 with 4 KO's.
