Moldazhanova (6-0, 6 KOs) has certainly made a splash since turning professional, knocking out her first five opponents before facing Kirstie Bavington (10-7-2, 2 KOs) on Sunday, November 8, at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas.

The Russian delivered a dominant showing from the first bell, landing a big left hand that stunned Bavington. The pressure continued with Moldazhanova working the body of her opponent. Bavington had her best moments in round three, working off her jab and throwing the right hand. Not long into the fourth round, Moldazhanova began to overwhelm Bavington and landed a left hand that sent her opponent to the canvas. Bavington did beat the count, but the referee had seen enough and waved the fight off.

After another knockout performance, MVP have announced the signing of Moldazhanova. She enjoyed a successful amateur career, winning Russian Youth, Russian national and European Youth championship titles, along with a silver medal at the European Championships. She won a World Championships medal in 2025 before turning professional. Since turning pro, she’s shown plenty of power alongside strong boxing fundamentals.

Discussing their latest recruit, Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul said: “Albina ‘The Lion’ Moldazhanova is a special talent with the kind of explosive power that can change a fight in an instant. She’s come a long way from a small town in Siberia to the international stage, and her journey is just getting started. Six fights, six knockouts speaks for itself, but what makes Albina especially exciting is the contrast between her infectious personality outside the ring and the relentless aggression she brings inside it.

“She’s charismatic, entertaining and knows how to put on a show. Her performances on our cards have already demonstrated why she’s a fighter fans should be paying attention to. We see tremendous upside in Albina and are excited to officially welcome her to MVP as we work toward establishing her as a major force in the 140-pound division.”

Moldazhanova also spoke on signing with MVP:

“I come from a small village in Siberia called Demyanka, and boxing has taken me further than I ever could have imagined. From moving to Tyumen to pursue my dreams, to representing my country on the international stage, every step of my journey has taught me that anything is possible with hard work, determination, and belief in yourself. Now, with six professional fights and six knockouts, I’m ready for the next chapter of my career.

“Signing with MVP is an incredible opportunity to showcase my skills on the biggest stages in boxing, continue my knockout streak, and show the world the strength of the Siberian spirit. I want to become undisputed world champion and inspire others to believe that the impossible is possible. I’m grateful to MVP and SmartLab Boxing Promotions for believing in me and supporting my journey. This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to show the world what I’m capable of.”

The Big Fight Weekend verdict

Moldazhanova has quickly become a force to be reckoned with in the 140-pound division. She moves her feet well and picks her spots impressively. She controls the distance superbly during her fights, while changing the levels well. 

The 25-year-old southpaw doesn’t rush her work and throws everything with spite. How far she can go remains to be seen, but Moldazhanova appears to have all the ability and a vast amount of power. It won’t be long until she is challenging the champions at 140.
