    Headlining a (sort of/nearly - depending on how you feel about interim belts) world championship triple-header on the day before New Year's Eve in Tokyo. WBO super featherweight title at stake, 1st defense of Itō. Chuprakov is the WBO mandatory challenger. The champion has a 3½″ advantage in height and has been a pro two years longer despite being nine months younger. Itō has one defeat and one draw on his ledger, both at domestic level, while Chuprakov enters unblemished.

    Packaged with Kenshiro Teraji vs. Saúl Juárez Gil for the WBC light flyweight title (5th defense of Teraji; Juárez Gil is the WBC #8 contender) and Tasana Salapat vs. Takuma Inoue (#2 vs. #4 in the green & gold rankings) for the interim WBC bantamweight title. All three will be televised by ESPN+, with the broadcast slated to start at 7pm local time or 5am EST.

    Also, can I just say, on ANY OTHER CARD, these guys would ordinarily take home top honors for "overall cumulatively gayest/corniest pair of ring names sharing the ring at one time" ...but in the co-feature we do have "The Amazing Boy" versus "Baby". :dunno

    Philadelphia, Penn. / Ekaterinburg, Russia - December 28, 2018 - Undefeated and number-one ranked WBO Junior Lightweight contender, Evgeny "Happy Gilmore" Chuprakov has been preparing for the biggest fight of his career, when he takes on WBO World Junior Lightweight world champion, Masayuki Ito, this Sunday in Tokyo, Japan.

    Chuprakov (20-0, 10 KOs) has earned his ranking by defeating quality opposition, which includes four undefeated opponents, and capturing The Russian Junior Lightweight Title; WBO European Junior Lightweight title & the WBO Intercontinental Junior Lightweight title.

    "The training camp is going well. In the beginning I had more functional work, then there were my sparring sessions. As usual. I am jogging in Griffith Park, and then have functional workouts with my coach. Each weekend I have massage and sauna sessions," said Chuprakov.

    "Each professional boxer has it as a goal, and that is to fight for and win a world championship. I am very excited, but I have an important bout coming up, and the issue is not in the excitement, but to get preparation to the bout."

    Chuprakov knows that Ito is a tough customer, but did not want to divulge what he knew about the defending champion.

    "He is a good fighter. He is a world champion,and I respect that about him."

    Chuprakov has been waiting his whole career for this opportunity, and the 28 year-old Chuprakov will not let this opportunity go to waste,

    "It seems like it has been a long time coming, but now it is here. I will say, that I have had great preparation for this bout. I will, put my mind for it. I will show a good boxing, and of course I'll look forward to winning this fight and becoming world champion."

    The title fight can be seen live on ESPN+ on Sunday, December 30th with a start time of 5:00 a.m. ET, with the Ito-Chuprakov fight starting around 6:20 a.m.

    Chuprakov will win by TKO, he's too awkward, too much volume, too unorthodox, Ito will have a hard time getting his rhythm down and by the time he does, Evgeny will have doe enough damage it'll be too late for him to swing momentum back in his direction.
