Zlaticanin and Redkach are the second- and third-rated contenders by the WBC at 135 pound.
Redkach and Zlaticanin are talented southpaws who were both accomplished amateurs in Eastern Europe. REDK, yang 2008 Olympic Games alternate for his native Ukraine, is known for his aggressive and relentless style. The 29-year-old is coming off a sixth-round knockout over Yakubu Amidu lepas Jan. 9 pada ShoBox: Generasi Baru and has been angling for a title shot in 2015.
“This is the most important fight of my life,” said Redkach, who made ESPN.com’s “Top 20 Prospects to Watch” lists in 2012 dan 2013. “I’ve never trained longer or harder for a fight. Jurulatih saya, Robert Garcia, has me totally prepared and in great shape.
“It’s going to be a good action fight. I’ve watched tapes of [Zlaticanin’s] last two fights so I feel I’m familiar with him. He’s very strong and he throws a lot of punches. I thank him [Zlaticanin] for coming to the United States. I’m honored. But this is a good matchup for me. I want to thank my team for giving me this opportunity. This is another step closer to my dream, the world title. I’m confident in myself. I’m going to put on a great show.”
Dejan (diucapkan “DAY-han) Zlaticanin (silent “dengan” – diucapkan “la-ti-CAH-nin) is making his U.S. dan 2015 debut. Zlaticanin’s most significant victory of his career came two outings ago when, as a prohibitive underdog, he earned a well-deserved 12-round split decision over hometown favorite Ricky Burns, a former two-division world champion.
The 31-year-old Zlaticanin, who moved training camps to the U.S. for his stateside debut, is an offensive-minded fighter who constantly pressures his opponents, outworks them and wears them down. Zlaticanin, of the Southeastern European country of Montenegro, represents the toughest opponent of Redkach’s career, though he’ll be giving away four inches in height to his opponent.
“I think I will knock Ivan Redkach out,” Zlaticanin said. “I don’t like his behavior. Now that I’m training in America, I think I will be stronger and better than I was before.”
The fast-rising Williams, 25, is making his sixth appearance on SHO EXTREME, more than any other boxer. Ranked in the top ten by multiple sanctioning bodies, the undefeated 154-pounder has won six consecutive fights, four by knockout since a bout with still-unbeaten Hugo Centeno Jr., ended in a fourth-round No Decision in September 2013. Williams was up, 3-0 dalam pusingan menjaringkan, when the fight was halted due to an unintentional clash of heads. In his last start he scored one knockdown en route to a shutout 10-round decision over veteran Joey Hernandez pada April 4.
“I’ve seen some tape on my opponent,” Williams berkata. “He seems to be a really good, solid fighter. I’m expecting a tough fight, and I’m prepared. Saya sudah bersedia.”
The 29-year-old Ovsepyan trains out of the Wild Card Boxing Club in Los Angeles and has campaigned for most of his career in California or Russia. The aggressive-minded Ovsepyan has had difficulty getting fights in the past and this will be his first ring assignment in 13 bulan.
“I’ve been training for a whole year now,” dia berkata. “They kept telling me that I could get a fight at any minute. I was supposed to have a fight in December, but it was canceled.
“I’ve seen Williams fight a couple of times, but it doesn’t matter to me. I don’t even want to know anything about my opponent. I just want to get back in the ring and get a win. I’m hungry and he better not be taking me lightly.”
Dalam Showtime KEJOHANAN BOXING bersama-ciri, tanpa ditewaskan Jose “The Sniper” Pedraza(19-0, 12 KOs), daripada Cidra, Puerto Rico, akan mengambil Andrey Klimov (19-1, 9 KOs), daripada Klimovski, Rusia, dalam 12-bulat untuk kosong IBF Junior Ringan Kejohanan Dunia.
