Grigory Drozd started to train long time ago but he can't return because he have pains in shoulder if this continues he says he will retire.
Krzysztof Wlodarczyk/Leon Harth for IBF Inter-Continental cruiserweight title on 10 December in Poland
this would be a real shame, I like Drozd, but he is so injury prone, he has made only 1 title defense since beating Diablo over 2 years ago
3 December card. Denis Lebedev/Murat Gassiev for WBA Super World cruiserweight title and IBF World cruiserweight title. Dmitry Kudryashov/Santander Silgado for vacant WBC Silver cruiserweight title. Rakhim Chakhkiev/Maksim Vlasov for vacant WBA International cruiserweight title. Rashid Kodzoev/Antonio Sousa Alexey Egorov in his debut will face Lukasz Rusiewicz over 6 rounds.
Egorov will face Rusiewicz in his pro debut! Wow! Tough pro debut! The Pole is quite dangerous:his chin is made of iron,a teak tough warrior whose fight record is much better than his records indicates.He has already fought numerous good names in his career.Come to think of it I would even say that this match-making is totally stupid. Truly difficult pro debut against an relatively unknown Polish journeyman who is quite capable and much much better than his fight record indicates.Normally,you face such an opponent in his 10th or 15th figths at the pros but not in your debut fight at the pros. I am totally positive that the Pole will go the full route.Interesting fight to watch IMO but totally stupid matchmaking.
Interesting fight, I still think Egorov will pull it off but still ... It's a bit like Loma fighting Salido in his second fight.
