Boxing show, which will be the main event fight Russian Denis Lebedev and Frenchman Youri Kalenga for a world title WBA, will be held on April 10 in Moscow.
Denis Lebedev (Russian, 26-2-0, 20 KOs) – Youri Kalenga (France, 21-1, 14 KOs)
At stake in this match will be the title of the regular WBA World Champion in weight up to 90.7 kg, which is owned by 35-year old Russian, with some interruptions since 2012.
Lebedev defended his spring 2013th in Moscow, but because of the huge hematoma could not finish duel with Panamanian Guillermo Jones. As it turned out, the latter used illicit drugs, but the WBA, disqualify him, appointed a “replay”.
Revenge was to be held a year later, but the match was disrupted due to … a new positive samples Jones. This turn of events led to the lawsuit head of the promotion company “World Boxing” Andrew Ryabinskogo against a representative of Panamanian Don King. The court ruled in favor of the United States and the Russian side of the famous American promoter ordered to pay about $ 2.4 million.
While Lebedev was forced outage, Kalenga, who traveled with fights all over Europe and even as a had the misfortune to call in Riga to lose was not the most famous opponent, won the right to fight for the title of interim champion WBA (Russian held it in 2011-2012).
The fight Frenchman with former European champion Pole Mateusz Masternak took place in June last year and Kalenga won the fight by split decision. In November 2014 he defended his title as much in Canada Mississauga, by TKO in the final round by winning a local fighter Denton Daley.
After this 27-year-old Kalenga has become the mandatory challenger for the main title WBA, and after some hesitation on his part was signed a contract to fight with Lebedev.
The preparatory camp Russians held in the US in the hall of the famous specialist Freddie Roach, and he arrived in Moscow on April 2 in one day with his future rival.
«Never, never caught on in America itself oblique view and did not feel any hostility, both American and Ukrainian side – told about the atmosphere in which the training took place, Lebedev. – The fact that today in the camp at Freddie Roach trained seven or eight of the Ukraine, and none of them ever did not look crooked. All communicate, help each other as we can. Complete mutual understanding. ”
Kalenga declares that it is willing to take the title from the Russian. “I have no fear, after many years in boxing. My opponent – durable fighter, but I will take away the belt “, – said the Frenchman at a news conference.
In an open training session he showed little or no security features, setting the audience that will seek his fortune in battle in the attacks. Physical strength and ductility movements Kalenga impressed.
Lebedev in training worked much calmer and more confident of his rival, managing bandy jokes with fans and adjusting entertainer.
«That this is the difference between home and away matches – he said. – Kalenga can be stressful now, I myself have been in a similar position ».
Edward Trojanowski (Russia, 20-0, 17 KOs) – Hayk Shahnazaryan (Russia, 15-1, 6 KO)
second most important match in the evening will be held for the vacant world title at a weight of 63.5 kg according to the IBO – not the most famous boxing organization in the world. If this title heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is not owned, the existence of IBO very little that would be known.
The title of the champion will fight two Russian fighters, it can be said representatives of two different generations. Favorite of the match will be 34-year-old Troyanovskiy, not knowing defeats in professional boxing and has excellent for their weight percentage knockout wins.
On a good title fight he could count more year and a half ago, but has made this right just now. Last autumn he beautiful style knockout victory serious contenders in the fight for minor titles by the WBA.
Unlike Troianovskii, who spent the last battles in Russia, 21-year-old Shahnazaryan last year and traveled to near abroad, and in January of this year he made his debut in the American ring, and also appeared in the TV channel HBO.
Debut at the best young boxer has received: in the eight-round bout on points he lost to Mexican Abner Lopez, suffered the first defeat of his career. “The findings from the fight I did, I hope all will be well on», –
Shahnazaryan said.
In an open training session before the fight Ike showed good speed and shock, and moving around the ring. Troyanovskiy working out with a trainer combination of side and blows to the body. His actions in the ring looked more confident and weight.
Dmitri Kudryashov (Russia, 16-0, 16 KOs) – Francisco Palacios (Puerto Rico, 23-2, 14 KOs)
Russian puncher in this confrontation will defend the belt WBA International in weight up to 90.7 kg. In this case, 29-year-old Kudryashov – soldier with a clear but hard look pale gray eyes – even now already is ready to fight for any boxing tops. 16 knockouts in his 16 fights to make this clear.
As a company “World Boxing” will share the throne in this weight category, having two world champions – Lebedev and Grigory Drozd – and appropriate to this title and younger Kudryashova Rahim Chahkieva unclear.
As you know, we recorded a 37-year-old Palacios in the 17th victim of Russian sledgehammer. But how can this confrontation to see any other outcome?
Rahim Chahkiev (Russia, 21-1, 16 KOs) – Valery Brudov (Russia, 42-5, 28 KOs)
So this rating match to the same category 90.7 kg only some sporting miracle can help the 38-year-old former world champion Brudovu win an Olympic champion. Still, the best years of career Pskov boxer has been left behind, and only in such a puncher, he never was.
Besides, Chahkieva already scheduled match at the end of March: The car of Magas already accustomed to fans what breaks between fights he can be quite short.
Manuel Charr (Germany, 27-2, 16 KOs) – Ioan Dyuopa (France, 31-2-0, 20 KOs)
German of Syrian origin Charr year as firmly “registered” in Russia, where he will have his third fight. This time against the little-known Frenchman, who spent his last bout a week ago, losing to him on points.
At the ceremony weighing the guest of honor was accompanied by Charro show former world champion Lennox Lewis. Why did he choose as the object of their attention is German? Perhaps they have something to talk about fights with Vitali Klitschko for example …
Dmitry Bivol (Russia, 1-0, 1 KO) – Konstantin Piternov (Russia, 18-6, 9 KOs)
As expected, this fight is at 18.00 MSK will open the evening program, which will be broadcast on the air “Russia-2″. And we can assume that begins its journey in the professional category to 79.4 kg Bivol be a difficult test.
