Redkach and Zlaticanin are talented southpaws who were both accomplished amateurs in Eastern Europe. REDK, 一 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 雅庫布Amidu 最後 一月. 9 上 的ShoBox: 新一代 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 “頂 20 Prospects to Watch” lists in 2012 和 2013. “I’ve never trained longer or harder for a fight. 我的教練, 羅伯特·加西亞, 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.”

德揚 (宣判 “DAY-han) Zlaticanin (silent “z” – 宣判 “la-ti-CAH-nin) is making his U.S. 和 2015 登場. 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 瑞奇伯恩斯, 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 雨果·森特諾JR., ended in a fourth-round No Decision in September 2013. Williams was up, 3-0 在回合得分, 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 喬伊·埃爾南德斯 上 四月 4.

“I’ve seen some tape on my opponent,” 威廉姆斯說. “He seems to be a really good, 固體戰鬥機. I’m expecting a tough fight, and I’m prepared. 我準備好了。”

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 個月.

“I’ve been training for a whole year now,” 他說. “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.”
