On July 10 in Ekaterinburg, Russia, RCC Boxing Promotions, welterweights Dmitry “The Mechanic” Mikhaylenko (22-1, 10 KOs) and Qudratillo Abduqaxorov (11-0, 8 KOs) Will clash for the WBC Silver crown.
Mikhaylenko, 31, was relatively unknown until 2014, when he ventured to cross the ocean and earn recognition by defeating several quality opponents, including Sechew Powell, Luis Cruz, Johan Perez, and Karim Mayfield. Then, he returned home to lose surprisingly against Charles Manyuchi of Zambia in one of the best fights of 2016 in Russia.
Abduqaxorov, a native of Uzbekistan, made his debut in October 2015 and although there are many critics due to his scant experience, he has shown he has what it takes to be a great fighter when he knocked out Charles Manyuchi last March.
