NEW YORK (Mars 8, 2018) – Despite taking the bout on less than five days’ avis, two-time world title challenger Petr Petrov is ready for his showdown with junior welterweight Ivan Baranchyk, ce vendredi night on a BOXE SHOWTIME: SPECIAL EDITION live sur AFFICHER L'HEURE(10 PM ET/PT)

Petrov, who has not fought in eleven months since dropping a decision to undefeated WBO Lightweight champion Terry Flanagan, was training for a return bout in his native Spain before getting the call last weekend after Anthony Yigit fell out of the fight with Baranchyk.

Petrov arrived at the Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, Dakota du Sud, and he is confident going into this important fight.

“Je me sens bien. I am always training, and was getting ready for a fight in a couple months in my native Spain, so I don’t find this to be a big deal to accept this fight on short notice,” Saïd Petrov.

What made it easy for him to take the fight, a été l'occasion de se battre pour la position de numéro 2 dans l'IBF.

“Mon objectif est d'être un champion du monde, et ce combat se rapproche de moi que. Je ne sais pas quoi que ce soit à propos Baranchyk, mais je sais qu'il n'a jamais combattu quelqu'un avec mon expérience, et combiné à être sur les étapes où j'ai concouru se révélera être la distance vendredi nuit.”
