The unbeaten Martin has stopped his last 12 對手. The 6-foot-5, 29-year-old southpaw is coming off a third round TKO of 維森特Sandez 九月. 馬丁, 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. 奧林匹亞 Henry Tillman in Big Bear, 加利福尼亞州.
咄咄逼人的態度, 6-foot-3 Glazkov has won seven consecutive fights, including both his outings in 2015. Glazkov, 從來沒有誰被撞倒, owns victories over former champions 史蒂夫·坎寧安 和 托馬斯·阿達梅克. 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 泰森怒.
