Timur Ibragimov (b.January 15,1975) is a heavyweight boxer from Uzbekistan.
Personal
Timur is the cousin of heavyweight boxer Sultan Ibragimov [1].
Amateur career
Timur was a member of the 1996 Uzbek Olympic Team as a Light Heavyweight (178lbs). His results were as follows:
Defeated Rostislav Zaolichni (Ukraine) 7-3 Lost to Stipe Drews (Croatia) 9-10
Professional career
He turned pro in 2000 as a heavyweight and began his career on a winning streak, starting with 21-0-1 (the draw being against Kevin Johnson (boxer) ) , largely against limited opposition.
Then he was outpointed in 2006 by then-undefeated American Calvin Brock who was clearly the better conditioned athlete and superior boxer that night, and had Timur in trouble several times en route to Timur's loss. The 38° heat in Las Vegas may not have served a good excuse for a slow fight, missing action, as Timur had been brought up in Termez, the hottest spot in the former Soviet Union.
On February 16, 2007 he faced fringe contender Tony Thompson (boxer) and lost a unanimous decision.
