On the morning of February 16, 2022, Beijing time, the WBC sub-heavyweight world champion defense bid originally scheduled for Mexico City, Mexico, will be cancelled because the famous tournament promoter Yvon Michel announced that he has reached an agreement with Titov Boxing Promotion Company, and Yvonne Michel's number one boxer and current WBC sub-heavyweight world champion Oscar Rivas (Oscar). Rivas will fight with Russian boxer Evgeny Romanov, a russian boxer owned by Titov Boxing Promotion, to defend his title.
The match was Oscar Rivas's first defending title since he won the WBC subweight World Boxing Championship title last year. As oscar Rivas's tournament promoter, Yvonne Michel was pleased with being able to make the game a success. In an interview with reporters, Yvonne Michel told reporters: "I am very satisfied with this result. Here I would like to thank Mr. Alex Titov (head of Titov Boxing Promotion Company) for his cooperation and cooperation. We intend to hold this World Champion Championship in June this year, which may be played in Canada or Colombia. At the moment, Mr. Alex Titov and I are still discussing some of the details of the match, because this is Oscar Rivas's first world champion defense, so we strive to be perfect. ”
While no final venue has yet been determined, Oscar Rivas considers the two countries planned to be "home" for him (Oscar Rivas is a Colombian who currently trains and lives in Canada). In an interview with reporters, Oscar Rivas said: "Whether it's this game in Montreal, Canada's second largest city, or this game in my home country, Colombia, I have full confidence because in my eyes both places are home. It's a pleasure to be able to host my first WBC World Champion Title Defense tournament in a place I know well and I am confident of defending it for a long time and holding this World Champion Gold Belt. ”
Oscar Rivas is arguably the epitome of hard work in professional boxing, having experienced the biggest shady scene in the heavyweight history of professional boxing and the joy of becoming the first world boxing champion ever in the new WBC category. At present, Oscar Rivas is actively preparing under the training of coach Mark Ramsey in order to realize his long-term "domination" of the golden belt of the WBC sub-heavyweight world boxing champion.
This is where the challenger of this defeat, Yevgeny Romanov, was born on July 20, 1985 in the heroic city of volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) in the former Soviet Union.
In the amateur boxing era, Yevgeny Romanov had brilliant achievements. He won gold medals at the European Junior Boxing Championships in Warsaw in 2003, the World Junior Boxing Championships in Jeju, South Korea in 2004, the silver medal at the 2005 Russian National Boxing Championships, the silver medal at the 2006 Russian National Boxing Championships and the 2009 Russian National Boxing Championships.
In 2008, in the Russian-American Boxing Exchange, Yevgeny Romanov was a big hit, and he defeated the well-known American heavyweight boxer and the Beijing Olympic champion Deonta Wilde (the former WBC heavyweight world boxing champion) by KO to shock the European and American boxing world.
On 30 July 2016, Yevgeny Romanov made his professional boxing debut when he defeated his opponent Vikta Zukaku in a professional boxing match in Sochi Estusadok, Russia, in the third leg.
By May 2021, Yevgeny Romanov had achieved a record of 16 total victories over 11 KO opponents. However, due to the promotion ability of his own tournament promotion company, Yevgeny Romanov has not been able to participate in the top heavyweight competition, which has also given him the idea of trying his luck in the new level of WBC - sub-heavyweight. So, can Yevgeny Romanov realize his dream of a world boxer at this new level? Let's wait and see.
