“It’s an honor to promote a dynamic young champion like Deontay Wilder against a tough threatening opponent like Szpilka. What would have been the first heavyweight title fight in Brooklyn in 115 years is now one of the first two. Martin versus Glazkov should be an extremely competitive fight and fans will be treated to the rarity of being able to see two world heavyweight championship fights on the same card.”
“I am excited to be involved in this historic event involving two heavyweight world titles fights, contested on the same evening,” האט לעאן מאַרגולעס, פרעזידענט פון וואַרריאָרס באָקסינג. “Having worked with Artur Szpilka since he began his career, I know he is more than ready for this challenge. Artur and Charles Martin both have all the tools necessary to win heavyweight world title in Brooklyn onיאַנואַר 16.”
“יאַנואַר 16 will be our best card yet,” האט ברעט יאָרמאַרק, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & פאַרווייַלונג. “We’re excited to host two heavyweight world title fights in one night and continue to make Brooklyn the center of boxing.”
מארטין (22-0-1, 20 קאָס), of Carson, קאַליף., by way of St. לוי, איז 22-0-1 מיט 20 KOs and is rated fourth by the IBF. The Ukrainian Glazkov, די ניט קיין. 1-ranked IBF contender, איז 21-0-1 מיט 13 קנאָקקאָוץ.
The unbeaten Martin has stopped his last 12 קעגנערס. The 6-foot-5, 29-year-old southpaw is coming off a third round TKO of Vicente Sandez אין סעפטעמבער. מארטין, a top-level amateur, has maintained a busy schedule since turning professional – he fought four times in 2015 and five times in 2014. Martin is trained by U.S. אָלימפּיאַן Henry Tillman in Big Bear, קאַליף.
די אַגרעסיוו-מיינדאַד, 6-foot-3 Glazkov has won seven consecutive fights, including both his outings in 2015. גלאַזקאָוו, וואס האט קיינמאָל געווען נאַקט אַראָפּ, owns victories over former champions סטיוו קוננינגהאַם און Tomasz אַדאַמעק. The win over Cunningham this past March earned him the No. 1 spot in the IBF. Before turning pro in July 2009, Glazkov was an amateur standout in the Ukraine – he won the bronze medal at super heavyweight at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, and was a silver medalist at the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships. The 31-year-old will make his U.S. debut fighting for the IBF belt that was recently vacated by טיסאָן צאָרן.
