Can You Throw Head Kicks in Boxing?

ONE Championship prospect Idris Abdurashitov scored a vicious head kick knockout over the weekend but there was only one problem — he did it in a boxing match.

The unbelievable footage that surfaced from the weekend shows Abdurashitov engaged in a boxing match with Bagher Faraji, an Iranian boxer with a 1-3 record overall, when the head kick is delivered to end the fight.

It was a wild exchange with Abdurashitov uncorking the head kick at the end of the sequence and Faraji immediately crumbling to the canvas after.

Abdurashitov was disqualified for his actions, but that didn’t stop him from posting the clip on his Instagram page to highlight the knockout.

The abysmal decision to throw the head kick adds a rather significant black mark on what was starting out as a promising résumé in MMA for Abdurashitov after he went 4-0 to start his career, including a stoppage in in his ONE Championship debut in September.

Still would have been his own fault for not protecting himself.

I would’ve expected total class and professionalism from a fighter with a name like Abduradashodativashitov.

It is amusing when the best boxers want nothing to do with MMA when guys like O’Malley and Conor challenge them.
