Professional career

Early career

[edit]

Kunkabayev made his professional debut against Issa Akberbayev on 23 August 2020.[3] Kunkabayev was dominant throughout the bout and in the second round, he landed a heavy body shot which put his opponent on the canvas. Kunkabayev was declared the winner after Akberbayev was unable to recover from the knockdown.[4]

On 18 December 2020, Kunkabayev fought for a second time as a professional against Serhiy Radchenko.[5] Kunkabayev was declared the winner after his opponent retired in the corner at the end of the fourth round.[6] On 27 February 2021, Kunkabayev fought against Server Emurlaev. Kunkabayev dominated his naturally smaller opponent and at the end of the sixth round, landed a flurry of heavy punches which visibly hurt his opponent. This resulted in Emurlaev retiring in his corner at the end of round, after declining to continue.[7] Kunkabayev faced Steven Ward on 11 December 2021.[8] He won the fight by a seventh-round technical decision. The decision was given at the end of the seventh round, as Ward was unable to continue competing due to a cut on his forehead, which resulted from an accidental clash of heads.[9]

Kunkabayev faced Farrukh Juraev on 25 March 2022, at the Baluan Sholak Sports Palace in Almaty, Kazakhstan.[10] He made quick work of his opponent, as he won the fight by a second-round technical knockout.[11]
