BRAVE CF 62: Murtaza Talha to have middleweight debut against Kirill Khomitsky

14 September 2022

In collaboration with Octagon League, BRAVE Combat Federation will hold its 62nd event in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on September 30. Four further battles are scheduled to once again rock Central Asia, according to BRAVE CF officials, who already announced the initial fights for the event.

Unbeaten and two-time amateur world champion Murtaza Talha is leading the charge. The KHK Team Bahrain star fights promotional rookie Kirill Kohmitsky as he firmly goes down to Middleweight. A victory might put Talha in a position to challenge for the 185-pound BRAVE CF global championship, which is currently unclaimed.
