Professional career
Gadzhimagomedov made his professional debut on 24 December 2021, against Deibis Berrocal. He won by stoppage after knocking his opponent down three times in the second round.[4][5]
He won the inaugural WBA bridgerweight title by stopping Zhaoxin Zhang in the fourth round of their fight at the IBA Coliseum in Serpukhov, Russia, on 12 July 2024. Evgeny Tishchenko had technically won the inaugural title the previous year, but a failed drug test rendered his bout a No Contest and his championship recognition was annulled.[6][7]
Gadzhimagomedov made a successful first defense of his title with a unanimous decision win over Leon Harth at Ufa Arena in Ufa, Russia, on 17 October 2024.[8][9]
He defeated Thabiso Mchunu via unanimous decision in a 10 round, non-title contest at the International Boxing Centre Luzhniki in Moscow, Russia, on 31 January 2025.[10][11]
