Russian cruiserweight Alexey Zubov knows what’s at stake when he enters the ring тази неделя в Детройт.
With a second chance in a nationally televised fight possibly looming on the nearby horizon, Zubov (13-1, 8 Нокаута) from Magnitogorsk, Русия, will face Budapest, Hungary’s Andras Csomor (18-14-1, 14 Нокаута) в осем кръг мач.
Zubov vs. Csomor will be one of the main supporting bouts in promoter Dmitriy Salita’s special Sunday edition of his “Детройт сбиване” series on Януари 22, 2017, при Храм масонска. In the night’s eight-round main event, Detroit’s perennial welterweight gate keeper and fan favorite Lanardo “Pain Server” Tyner (30-10-2, 19 Нокаута) will face Nagykanizsa, Hungary’s Istvan Dernanecz (10-4, 7 Нокаута). in the eight-round co-main event Detroit bantamweight James Gordon Smith (11-0, 6 Нокаута) will face Kiskunfelegyhaza, Hungary’s Szilveszter Ajtai (10-3-1, 5 Нокаута).

For this training camp, Zubov worked with his trainer, the late Emanuel Steward’s nephew Javan “Захар” Хълм, as he helped prepare former WBC super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell for his recent fight.
“Everything was perfect in my training this time,” said Zubov. “I love working with Javan, he has helped me grow so much as a fighter. And Anthony Dirrell taught me a great deal as well. I will be showing what I’ve learned тази неделя.”
Although he’s not taking him lightly, the formerly heavily decorated amateur Zubov says his studies of opponent Csomor haven’t revealed much he hasn’t seen before.
“I’ve watched a little bit of him on tape and he does nothing out of the ordinary. I’ve fought guys like him before who have the same style. And I always handle them very well.”
Zubov, looking to face the likes of WBO champ Oleksandr Usyk, countryman Denis Lebedev, or any of the division’s other big names, says his return to national television will be nothing like the first time. Zubov suffered his only career loss, а unanimous decision to Moldova’s Constantin Bejenaru, лast April at the Turning Stone in Verona, New York and live on ShoBox.
“I was nervous. I never fought on a big show before that and I choked up,” explained Zubov of the loss. Next time will be totally different. I have been around big-time boxing on big shows enough times now. I will be ready.”
Also seeing action that night will be former cruiserweight world title challenger “Ураган” Junior Wright (15-2-1, 12 Нокаута) from Evanston, Illinois, making his heavyweight debut against Detroit’s Damon McCreary (15-6, 11 Нокаута) в шест многофункционален.

In a super lightweight four, Detroit’s rejuvenated “Мълния” Larry Ventus (7-11-1, 3 Нокаута) will face Florida’s iron-jawed Jesus Lule (9-20-1, 1 KO).
