Fans of international boxing can wake up to boxing for brunch this Il-Ħadd, Ġunju 27, fi 9:00 am ET (6:00 Għandi PT), bħala Promozzjonijiet Salita proudly presents another marathon 14-fight matinee of Russian boxing on their popular Kanal YouTube, free of charge from the Soviet Wings Sport Palace in Moscow, Russja. L-avveniment, entitled “Fight and Win” and presented by Shamo Boxing in association with Salita Promotions, will feature a rugged eight-round battle between WBO #3 and IBF #7 bantamweight Nikolai Potapov (22-2-1, 11 Kos), of Podolsk, Russja, now residing Brooklyn, and Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania’s Oscar Richard (7-3-1, 2 Kos).
And in the 10-round co-main event, Beshariq, Uzbekistan’s Bakhromjon “B.F.” Fozilov(3-1-3, 3 Kos) will face 18-fight veteran Andrey Tomashchuk of Chelyabinsk, Russia for the WPBF International Middleweight Championship.
30-year-old Potapov has bounced back nicely from his highly controversial “loss” to fellow contender Josh Greer by scoring two big victories, including his last outing, a shutout unanimous decision over Ukraine’s then 16-2 Oleksandr Hryshchuk in December 2020 f'Moska. In his 11-year career, Potapov has already held the WBA Asia and WBO NABO Bantamweight Championships.
“I look forward to returning to the ring and putting on an exciting performance for my fans in Moscow and worldwide,” said Potapov, who has steadily moved back into contention for another big fight, whether a rematch against Greer or a challenge of one of the division’s champions.
Also scheduled for battle in featured fights are Saint Petersburg, Tar-Russja Zurab Kvitsiani (7-1, 2 Kos) taking on Khimki, Tar-Russja David Nikolaev (9-7-1, 5 Kos) in a middleweight eight-rounder; Grozny, Tar-Russja (via Almaty, Każakstan) undefeated super ħfief Shamil Malsagov (3-0, 1 KO) up against Ufa, Tar-Russja Rustem Fatkhullin (8-8, 3 Kos) aktar minn tmien rawnds; and once-beaten Tikhon Netesov of Irkutsk, Russja (5-1, 2 Kos) facing Khimki, Tar-Russja (via Vanadzor, Armenja) Arkadi Harutyunyan(4-17, 1 KO) in a six-round super lightweight battle.
