Last Thursday IBO cruiserweight champion and TBRB #5 200lber Rakhim “The Machine” Chakhkiev (24-1, 18 KOs) went through hell and back in his assumed tune-up fight versus unheralded Brazilian Hamilton Ventura (14-2-1, 10 KOs).
Chakhkiev, down twice and having eaten dozens of hard shots, barely squeaked past Ventura with a close unanimous decision over eight rounds. This unlikely test has come just a month from Chakhkiev’s next fight versus Nigerian import Ola Afolabi (21-4-4, 10 KOs), which is still scheduled to take place on Nov. 4 in Kazan, Russia.
