Professional career

In 2012 Kanat turned pro and decided to train in the U.S. state of Florida. He was captain of the "Astana Arlans" in the World Series of Boxing (WSB). In January 2011, after arriving in Kazakhstan at the request of Kazakh businessman and philanthropist Baurzhan Ospanov, Islam became a citizen of Kazakhstan.[4][5]

On September 9, 2017, Islam faced Brandon Cook. Islam managed to stop Cook in the ninth round, giving him his first early stoppage lost in his career.[6]

In his next fight, Islam made easy work of Julio De Jesus. Islam landed two big overhand rights in the opening round, dropping De Jesus, who was unable to conitnue the fight, resulting in an impressive win for the Kazakh.[7]

In his following fight, Islam, then ranked #8 by the WBO, faced Walter Kautondokwa, ranked #9 by the same organisation. Neither fighter stood out with his performance, Islam being the one who landed less but was more precise. Kautondokwa was the better man towards the end of the fight, but that was not enough for the judges, who had it 99-92, 97-92 and 97-92 for Islam, in what was considered a controversial decision by the judges.[8]
