Undefeated Evgeny Romanov (17-0) and Chris Thompson (12-3-1) from South Africa will fight in an eight-round fight on the main card of the RCC Boxing Promotions show. The evening of boxing will be held on March 7 in Yekaterinburg at the 5,000-seat DIVS arena.
Romanov is one of the most dangerous weights in our country. For a long time he was the official contender for the WBC world title in bridgerweight (up to 101.6 kg), but later the Russian boxer left the rating. Now Eugene is on the sixth line in Russia and carries incredible knockout power in his punches.
Thompson is younger and much hungrier than Romanov, he became the African champion last year, but could not get through the first defense. However, this does not make him an underdog in the upcoming fight - in South Africa he is in third position among heavyweights.
Recall that the tournament will lead the fight between Ivan Shtyrkov and Magomed Ismailov. Top MMA fighters will meet in a six-round boxing match.
