Serik’s Straight Right Cut Short Tulokulov’s Professional
Abzal Serik stopped Nursultan Tulokulov in the third round on October 25, 2025, in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. The scheduled six-round junior welterweight contest ended by technical knockout after a straight right hand sent Tulokulov to the canvas and prompted the referee to intervene.
An early-career matchup paired neighboring boxing nations
The twenty-two-year-old Serik represented Kazakhstan, while Tulokulov was competing in his home country. The contest formed part of the SAIKOU×LUSH program at Bishkek Arena.
Tulokulov was making his professional debut. Serik had already recorded one professional victory, so the bout matched two boxers still establishing themselves rather than experienced championship contenders.
The third-round knockdown produced the decisive intervention
The contest did not reach its scheduled six-round distance. Serik’s straight right created the finishing moment, and the referee stopped the action after Tulokulov went down.
The result was recorded as a technical knockout for Serik. It did not require a judges’ decision or give Tulokulov a victory from the home-country assignment.
The win continued Serik’s unbeaten professional start
Serik left with two victories, both inside the distance. Tulokulov began his professional record with a defeat after the third-round stoppage.
The larger Bishkek event also included established international names such as John Riel Casimero and Kyonosuke Kameda. Serik’s appearance occupied a different stage of development: a six-round assignment that supplied another early finish while leaving the longer work of building a professional career ahead of both participants.
