The Murcian boxer will contest his first professional fight tomorrow at the Príncipe de Asturias pavilion, arriving two years late due to the pandemic
The career of Murcian boxer José Luis Serrano has been full of obstacles, but he is already in the final stretch. Tomorrow he will play his first professional fight (10pm) after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic and a two-week delay due to improvement works at the Príncipe de Asturias pavilion, the stage where a ring will be installed and they will host Serrano and the Russian resident in Torrevieja Elkhan Bairamov climbing.
Serrano started martial arts and kickboxing in his teens [basado en peleas con patadas y puñetazos] He later made the jump to K1, a style of kickboxing that accepts a wider variety of moves prohibited in martial arts, such as knee thrusts and grabbing the opponent’s neck and torso. However, his best years were spent in boxing. He is currently the top amateur middleweight boxer in the Murcian Federation and one of the best in Spain for his peculiar fighting style, which mixes the moves of boxers like Ali and Floyd Mayweather.
He planned to debut in the professional field two years ago, but the pandemic forces him to wait. Once normality is restored, he has found the moment to make the leap to the professional field, in the hands of the Murciano Boxing Club and Stanislav Bondarenko, his coach for the past seven years.
Serrano’s rival tomorrow is Bairamov, a boxer with experience in the professional field but who doesn’t scare Serrano, who wants to make his debut “against anyone” and who has set himself a two-year deadline to become champions of Spain. The agreed weight for this Friday’s fight is 72 kilos and 600 grams. Tickets are for sale via the ‘compralaentrada’ website.
Biramov, he told the Spanish and International Boxing Guide, studied in Spain and went to Russia to do his military service “and I continued to work there as a nightclub porter; Because I’m small, they didn’t catch me in clubs in the center and I had to go to the suburbs, where there are not so many police and fights are common, that’s how I forged myself as a boxer». He returned to Spain in 2017 to visit his mother in Torrevieja and decided not to return to Russia.
Before the fight between Serrano and Bairamov, the season kicks off with a gala called ‘Murcia Boxing Show’, in which a team from Murcia competes against another team made up of boxers from all over the peninsula. There will be seven amateur competitions in preparation for the Spanish Championship to be held in Cartagena from June 20 to 26.
