General Director of RCC Boxing Promotions German Titov, in a conversation with , expressed confidence that the Russian Yevgeny Tishchenko As a result of the fight with the German Leon Hart, he became WBA champion.
2016 Olympic champion Tishchenko will meet German Leon Hart on December 9 in Dubai at the IBA Night of Champions tournament in a fight for the vacant WBA belt in a new weight category (up to 101.6 kg).
— The WBA introduces a new category, but as you know, the WBC introduced this weight two or three years ago. We also had Evgeniy Romanov as an official contender, but then, for well-known reasons, Russian boxers were removed from the rankings. As soon as it became clear that the WBA was introducing this category, I immediately talked about Romanov and Tishchenko and opted for Tishchenko. The opponent was chosen from among the best heavyweights, who was available and willing. Leon Hart turned out to be exactly that. I believe the fight should be competitive and I am confident that Evgeniy will win and become world champion,” Titov told .
Tishchenko, 32, has 12 victories and one defeat in the professional ring. In the previous fight, the Russian boxer defeated Belgian Yves Ngabu at the RCC Boxing Promotions tournament in May in Yekaterinburg. Hart has a record of 22 wins, five losses and one draw.
