Professional career
[edit]In May 2015, Serdar Hudaýberdiýew signed a professional contract with the promotion company Star of David (USA), becoming the first professional boxer from Turkmenistan.
February 6, 2016 in Detroit, he made his debut in professional boxing, which ended with a technical knockout of American Kevin Sheks. On May 14, 2016, Marco Russell (USA) was defeated by a knockout in the second fight. The third fight took place on July 16, 2016 with American Stephen Andrade, and in it by unanimous decision the victory was awarded to the Turkmen boxer.
On June 16, 2017, Hudaýberdiýew had a fourth bout in his professional career, in which, after six rounds, by unanimous decision of the judges, Antonio Uriste (USA) lost. And there were objective reasons for this. A week before the fight, the Turkmen athlete received a serious injury to the carpal-metacarpal joint of the thumb - his thumb and index finger were broken, but Serdar hid this fact before the organizers of the fight. The injury manifested itself during a duel with an experienced rival.
On August 4, 2017, the Turkmen boxer was offered to take revenge from the same opponent. And he agreed, despite the fact that the injury had not yet healed. This was Serdar's fifth bout in a professional career, in which the injury again manifested itself during the second round. Despite this, Hudaýberdiýew lasted all six rounds. However, by the decision of the majority of judges, the victory was awarded to an American boxer.
In July 2019, Serdar Hudaýberdiýew decided to resume his career under the guidance of the coaching staff from the Panama and the manager from Turkmenistan. Currently, the process of weighing is actively underway. According to the program, a Turkmen athlete must lose weight from 96 kg to 75 kg. The fight is scheduled for the autumn, the exact date, the venue and the name of the opponent will be announced in September 2019.[4]
