The long-awaited fight between World Boxing Organization light middleweight champion Zaurbek Baysangurov of Russia and WBO interim champion Lukas Konecny of the Czech Republic is finally scheduled for Oct. 6 in Kyiv’s Palats Sportu.
“This
bout will be very exciting. Lukas is an experienced
boxer, he had more fights. But Zaur is a unique one. His
fights are always
spectacular,” International Boxing Federation world
heavyweight champion
Volodymyr Klitschko told journalists recently, whose company
is promoting the
fight.
However,
the fight’s spectators might be more exciting
than the bout itself. Chechen president Ramzan
Kadyrov
and his security
entourage is likely to be
present
at the game to cheer for Zaurbek
Baysangurov who is of Chechen
heritage.
The
fight will be broadcast on Inter Channel at 11
p.m.
