Mourad Aliev vs Umut Camkiran for WBC Silver heavyweight title in Istanbul

On November 7 at Uelker Spor Arena in Istanbul, Frenchman Mourad Aliev (15-1), WBC no. 15, faces Turkish Umut Camkiran (25-0) for the vacant WBC Silver heavyweight title. The winner would be well-positioned for a potential world title shot in 2027. The event is organized by Arena Box Promotion and broadcast live.

Italian press initially indicated Luis Vela as Aliev's opponent, while independent sources consistently reported Umut Camkiran as the actual challenger.
