Shavkat Rakhmanov Suffers Knee Setback, Faces Lengthy Layoff

Rakhmanov’s return is delayed again after re-injuring his knee and undergoing surgery, his manager, Danny Rubenstein, said. It’s the same leg that has sidelined the unbeaten welterweight for over a year. Rubenstein indicated the setback will keep the #2 welterweight out another nine to ten months, halting momentum as title talks resurface. Rakhmonov (19-0) last won against Ian Garry in 2024.
