Brandon Colantonio vs Jakhongir Zokirov

Six-round heavyweight booking confirmed

Zokirov and Colantonio are listed for a six-round heavyweight bout on the Zuffa Boxing 13 card in Riyadh. The official card places the matchup among the prelims.

Professional experience favors Colantonio

Colantonio enters with an 8-2 professional record, while Zokirov is listed at 2-0. The gap is in rounds of pro experience, not an established head-to-head résumé.

Zokirov has shown early finishing power

Both of Zokirov’s listed professional wins came by stoppage, giving him a clear early-finish track record even though his pro sample remains small.

Colantonio recently went the distance

Colantonio’s most recent listed win was an eight-round unanimous decision over Zach Contos in June. That outing provides a recent example of him succeeding in a longer fight than this scheduled bout.

Listed height edge for Zokirov

The matchup listing gives Zokirov a three-inch height advantage, 6-foot-7 to 6-foot-4. Whether that translates into control at range will be a key tactical question.

Pick Ideas

Angles drawn from the matchup analysis above and refreshed as the news changes. They are a separate read from the LineCrush pick for this matchup, so the two can land on different sides.

Be cautious with the moneyline

Publicly surfaced prices are inconsistent, ranging from a near-even prediction-market listing to a steep Zokirov favorite at a sportsbook listing. Verify current odds and shop around rather than treating any one quote as a reliable consensus.

Avoid forcing a method prop

No dependable, widely available method-of-victory price was established in the sources reviewed. Consider passing on those props unless a verified line offers value against your own assessment.
