Allahverdiyev Habib: he does not rise who has never fallen!

Recently, the Russian boxing world is clearly experiencing a period of recovery. This is explained by the fact that more and more "stars" are lighting up on the horizon of boxing. Of course, not all of these athletes are known outside their homeland, but there are also such fighters who managed to make themselves loud enough. One of such outstanding representatives of the Russian Federation in the world of martial arts is Allahverdiyev Habib.

The Dagestan hawk

On December 8, 1982 Allahverdiyev Habib issued his first cry. The place of his birth is the city of Kaspiysk, located in Dagestan. Unfortunately, the future champion as a child grew up without a father and therefore clearly realized that in this life he can hope only for himself. The nationality of the athlete is Lezghin.

Achievements in amateur ring

The first coach of the fighter was Kurban Kurbanov. It was under his leadership that Allahverdiyev Habib honed his boxing skills and performed successfully in amateurs. Beginning in 2000, the young boxer begins boxing, conducting his training at the Olympic Reserve School, where his mentor was Zuber Jafarov, Honored Coach of Russia.

In total, Allahverdiyev Habib stayed in amateurs until 2007.

If you consider all the regalia and conquests of the Dagestani soldier, then among them will be listed the following:

• Finalist of the world tournament among juniors of the two thousandth year.
• Participant of the finals of the Russian Cup in 2001.
• The winner of the open Serbian championship in 2001.
• The best boxer of the World Games among servicemen of the year 2003.
• The winner of the championship of Russia in 2004.
• The third place in the championships of the Russian Federation in 2005-06.
• Winner of the bronze medal of the World Cup in 2005.

Habib Allahverdiyev repeatedly stated in his interviews that he had lost all hope of performing at the Olympic Games. And because in 2007 he decided to move to a professional.

Professional "ladder"

His first career "steps" Habib Allahverdiyev is held in the United States of America. As a native of the Caucasus himself admitted, he left for America to earn money for the decent life of his family.

But as they say, fate can not be avoided. The turning point in the career of the Dagestan takes place in May 2010, when on Red Square in the Russian capital he holds a twelve-round fight against his compatriot Karen Tevosyan and wins on his points, thus winning the title of the best WBC Asian Boxing Council. By the way, Habib himself did not know that he had exactly this format of the battle and was not fully functional ready for it. However, even the lack of a full-fledged physical form did not prevent him from achieving the desired result.

Another high enough award was in the hands of Allahverdiyev in early 2012. He took over the WBA Fedelatin belt, defeating Colombian Ignacio Mendoza.

The more serious title - the best fighter according to the IBO version - Habib Allahverdiyev, whose biography is full of victories and defeats, wins in the summer of 2012, knocking out his opponent from South Africa in the 4th round. At that time, the coach of the lezgin was the legendary Kostya Tszyu.

November 2012 was marked by another triumph. Habib, having emerged victorious from the bout with Joan Guzman, took over the WBA title.

In July 2013, Habib Allahverdiyev, whose photo often flickers in both domestic and foreign publications, enters the ring against former champion in two categories of Frenchman Suleiman M'baye. The fight lasted until round 11. The result of the battle was a technical knockout of the challenger - the judge stopped the fight after a long attack by Habib, to which the Frenchman did not answer. As a result, the titles IBO and WBA remained with the Russian.

Failures in the ring

April of 2014. The fight with the American Jesse Vargas. The result of the fight is Habib's loss on points. Although it should be noted that the unofficial referee and observer of the sports channel gave victory to Allahverdiyev with a score of 115: 113.

Adrian Broner caused the second defeat in Habib's career, taking the WBA title in weight to 63.5 kilograms. In the course of the battle, the American increased his advantage, which quite logically turned into an early termination of the fight. After the battle, which took place in his hometown of Broner, Allahverdiyev's face resembled a continuous abrasion and hematoma - a huge number of missed attacks affected.

According to the manager of the Russian soldier, despite the defeat, Habib does not plan to finish his career and wants to continue performing in the ring.
