WBA gold champion and former WBA super champion contender Alexei Yegorov (11-1) returns to Yekaterinburg. On May 6, on the main card of the RCC Boxing Promotions tournament, he will enter the ring against the undefeated Vladimir Zhigailov (4-0). Boxers are waiting for an eight-round fight in the first heavy weight (up to 90.7 kg).
Alexey Egorov is in the top 30 strongest cruisers in the world. At the end of last year, he got to the fight for the world title, but lost in a tough fight to the current title holder Arsen Gulamiryan. This is the only defeat in the career of a Russian boxer, and now Yegorov is starting a new path to the top.
Zhigailov is a dark horse in the world of boxing. So far, he is out of the rankings, and he spent his four fights from 2015 to 2021. Two years ago, already in the second minute, he knocked out a guy from the top 50 of Russia in heavy weight, after which he again returned to the amateur ring.
The fight will take place in Yekaterinburg at the arena of the Uralets KRC. The show will be hosted by Magomed Kurbanov
