Tonight at 10:00 pm ET on ESPN, Top Rank boxing is back with fights from Atlantic City, featuring a heavyweight main event between former world title challenger Bryant Jennings and Alexander Dimitrenko.
Jennings (23-2, 13 KO) has won four straight following back-to-back losses to Wladimir Klitschko and Luis Ortiz in 2015. He took 2016 off and bounced back last year, and most recently fought on April 28, beating Joey Dawejko in an all-Philly showdown on ESPN. The 33-year-old American is looking to put himself back into serious contention if he can keep winning.
Dimitrenko (41-3, 26 KO) is a 36-year-old veteran from Russia, based in Germany, who has been around the scene for years now. His losses have come to Eddie Chambers, Kubrat Pulev, and Joseph Parker, so he’s failed in serious step-up bouts. Right now, he’s on a three-fight win streak.
In the co-feature, super middleweight contender Jesse Hart (24-1, 20 KO) will take on Mike Gavronski (24-2-1, 15 KO) in what figures to be more of a tune-up bout than anything. Featherweight prospect Shakur Stevenson (7-0, 4 KO) is also in action, slated to meet Carlos Ruiz (16-4-2, 6 KO).
Wil Esco will be on the round-by-round call tonight. Join us!
