Speaking of the Russian boxer Yevgeny Romanov, the most dazzling moment so far was the famous "bronze bomber" Deonte Verde in his spare time in 2008, when Romanov destroyed his opponent with his hook punch. However, with the exception of KO Wild, Romanov spent most of his time in obscurity and is now long forgotten as a professional boxer.
The latest news shows that Romanov has the best chance to win the professional boxing champion, and his Titov promotion company has reached an agreement with the famous Canadian GYM promotion company, when Romanov will force the WBC "Brigi level" boxing champion Oscar Rivas. At present, Yvonne Michel, president of GYM Promotion Company, has confirmed the relevant news, and he said that the relevant work is steadily advancing.
The 36-year-old Romanov worked hard in the amateur boxing world for two years after KO Wild, retiring from the Russian national team in 2010, but strangely, he did not enter the professional boxing world quickly, but instead lay dormant for 6 years, until 2016, when he was 32 years old, he officially turned into a professional boxer.
For now, Romanov is second in the WBC "Brigi level" (also known as the bridgeweight level), and the first is vacant, so he has the opportunity to force a challenge to the boxing champion oscar Rivas. Created in 2020, the Bridge Class is a class between heavyweight and subweight, with a weight cap of 224 pounds, which boxing fans prefer to call super-subweight, and only WBC has established that level today.
In October last year, Canadian-based Colombian boxer Vas defeated Ryan Roziki (13-1, 13KO) to win the vacant title and become the first "Bridge Class" world champion in the WBC.
Rivas looked very excited about the potential clash with Romanov, saying: "I am delighted to be able to defend the title of Boxer at the familiar 'Bridge level', I intend to keep this golden belt for a long time, I have been surrounded by confidence and the best people, which will help me focus on my goals." ”
Promoter Michelle said: "I am very happy with this deal, thanks to Titov's cooperation, we plan to hold the Battle of Rivas vs Romanov in June, the location will be in Canada, Colombia, is still under discussion, and defending the title in an environment familiar to Rivas is important to us." ”
Romanov is only 1.83 meters tall, and after becoming a professional boxer, he never weighed more than 230 pounds, mostly hovering around 222 pounds, so he is more suitable for "Brigi-class" combat. If an agreement is finally reached with Rivas, Romanov will inevitably go all out, although this level is not widely recognized, but if he wins, Romanov can also be regarded as a big wish of his own.
