Two NABF titles are up for grabs in Montreal, Canada

Undefeated super lightweight Arthur Biyarslanov will make the first defense of his NABF title against Tamas Kiliti in the 10-round main event this Thursday, September 5 at the Casino de Montréal in Montreal, Canada.

In the co-feature, light heavyweight Imam Khataev will look to defend his NABF belt and extend his knockout streak against Argentine Ezequiel Maderna.

Promoted by Eye of The Tiger, the Biyarslanov-Kiliti, Khataev-Maderna and preliminary fights will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.

Biyarslanov (15-0, 13 KOs) moved to Canada as a child and represented his adopted homeland at the 2016 Rio Olympics. He has won seven straight fights by knockout in four rounds or less and took the vacant NABF title in June with a fourth-round knockout of Elias Mauricio Haedo. Kiliti (10-0, 6 KOs), a five-year pro from Székesfehérvár, Hungary, is making his North American debut.

Khataev (7-0, 7 KOs) won a bronze medal for Russia at the Tokyo Olympics. Now based in Sydney, Australia, the 29-year-old who has been compared to Artur Beterbiev has been a knockout machine as a pro. He last fought on the Vasiliy Lomachenko-George Kambosos Jr. undercard in Perth, Australia, stopping Ricards Bolotniks in six rounds. Maderna (31-12, 21 KOs) is 2-2 since scoring a stunning knockout of then-unbeaten prospect Karol Itauma on the Beterbiev-Anthony Yarde undercard.
