Xolani Mkoteli (19-8, 12 KOs) and still stopped him in the 6th round.
Dzhukembaev immediately took possession of the center of the ring. Mkoteli tried to shoot back, sometimes successfully countered. It turned out that the strikes of the underdog do not frighten the favorite. By the 4th round, the fight turned into a one-sided beating – the African was knocked down for the first time.
In the next three minutes, Dzhukembaev began to knead the opponent even harder, shortening the distance without any problems. Mkoteli ended up in the fifth spot twice more. For some unknown reason, he was released for the 6th three-minute period – he caught a blow to the body, after which he finally capitulated.

Jukembaev KO 6.
In the co-main event of the evening, within the framework of the first middle weight (up to 69.9 kg), Kazakhstani Sadriddin Akhmedov (13-0, 11 KOs) quickly dealt with another representative of South Africa – 40-year-old
Nkululeko Mhlongo (23-11-1, 18 KOs).
There was no intrigue here at all. Akhmedov sent the veteran to the floor of the ring four times in the opening round. He made the only right decision – capitulated on a stool.
