Yeyubov (13-0, 11 KOS) will face Lynchburg, Virginia’s Maurice Chalmers (14-13-1, 8 KOS) in a six-round junior welterweight showdown.
“Training for Januar 12 has been excellent,” Said Eyubov. “I feel in great condition. My opponent has some solid wins against undefeated fighters and brings lots of experience into the ring, but I will be ready for everything.”
The 31-year-old slugger says with all his injury woes behind him, he is looking forward to a big 2018.
“My goal is to make a big jump in my career this year. I want to be set on my path to the title. My style is to please the fans and I want to show them exciting knockouts against the best contenders. I would like to stay active and fight four or five times. Give me the so called “killers” in the division. Line dem op!”
