MightyTips ambassador Jevgenijs ‘The Hurricane’ Aleksejevs claims the IBO European middleweight title
Undefeated Latvian boxer and MightyTips ambassador Jevgenijs ‘The Hurricane’ Aleksejevs won the IBO European middleweight belt as he defeated Misto Abdulaev from Germany on 28 September 2024 and took his career record to 17-0-0.
Aleksejevs claimed a convincing victory, securing the IBO title by TKO in the final minute of the second round at the Trofeu de Boxing Fira de Canals tournament in Canals, Valencia.
How it happened
From the opening bell, the 31-year-old Latvian imposed his will on the fight. Working as the aggressor, Aleksejevs launched a series of combinations aimed at Abdulaev’s body and head. He seized the centre of the ring and soon sent Abdulaev to the canvas, setting the tone for the remainder of the bout.
The second round began in an identical fashion. Aleksejevs unleashed a barrage of strikes from the outset, varying his angles expertly. His relentless attack led to three more knockdowns, with the referee stepping in after the final one to stop the fight.
It was an unquestionable victory for the MightyTips ambassador, who demonstrated his knockout power and tactical skill ending Abdulaev’s undefeated streak emphatically.
What did The Hurricane say
“It is my first title, and it is an amazing feeling, I am on cloud nine. We had two strategies for this fight. If he started slow, we would rush it with strong jabs, which was how it went eventually. If he rushed it, we were going to stop him [with shots] to the body. I just tried to do what the coach told me. When I landed my jab on his face for the first time, I knew it would be my night.”
“Now I need to take a break, go hiking in the mountains alone, and look back at what Iâve achieved. Then start preparing for the next fight. I dream of fighting on the big stage, like Matchroom Boxing or American promotions. This was just the first step.”
Who is Jevgenijs Aleksejevs
Born in Riga, Aleksejevs is a former kickboxer and a 2008 junior European champion. A leg fracture in 2015 forced him to switch disciplines. He made his pro boxing debut 11 years ago and now boasts a KO rate of 59%. He is renowned for his counterpunching ability and often dominates during the later rounds. He has been acting as the MightyTips ambassador since June 2023. This win lifted him to the 62ndposition in the BoxRec. com middleweight world ranking.

The news that Januaryâs ICE Barcelona will include a major new feature dedicated to global gamingâs most influential trade associations has been welcomed by organisations in Europe and abroad.
Making full use of the additional space at the Gran Via Fira de Barcelona, the first ICE Association Assembly has been created to enable trade bodies to promote their values and create new opportunities for the gaming community across every sector and geography, including both the Brussels-based European Casino Association (ECA) and the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM), the global trade association for gaming equipment suppliers with its primary headquarters in Las Vegas.
Erwin Van Lambaart, Chair of the ECA confirmed: âOur members are already planning their week in Barcelona and they will be at this historic edition of ICE in great numbers. ICE is a pivotal event for the global gaming community and having a show floor feature which will enable us to engage directly with all sectors is a unique opportunity.
“Traditionally, our association’s involvement at ICE and its Conference program has primarily centred around networking and product development orientationâconnecting with our members, regulators, suppliers, and fellow trade bodies. However, ICE 2025 marks a significant milestone. For the first time, the ECA will have the chance to fully interface with the global industry supply chain in its entirety. We are looking forward to this unique opportunity to articulate our vision for the future to a diverse and comprehensive audience, where innovation, responsibility and significant partnerships for guest and customer centricity will have centre stage.”
Daron Dorsey, CEO of AGEM added: âWe represent the interests of our gaming suppliers whose well-known brands are global in reach, so to be given the opportunity to explain our agenda and engage with what is a truly international audience of association colleagues on the ICE show floor is invaluable.â
Januaryâs editions of ICE and iGB Affiliate will occupy 120,000sqm of space compared to the 100,00sqm at ICE 2024. In a major endorsement of the opportunities offered by the relocation to Barcelona 72% of the 25 biggest exhibitors will have an increased stand presence at ICE 2025.
