According to Max Alperovich of Fight Promotions, rising middleweight prospect Ievgen Khytrov will be getting an early start on his 2015 campaign.
"We're fighting Aaron Coley on January 9th on ShoBox," said Alperovich.
This card will take place from the Morongo Casino in Cabazon, California. Khytrov was recently signed to a co-promotional pact with DiBella Entertainment after a short run with Iron Mike Productions.
'The Ukrainian Lion' has opened eyes early on in his career and recently halted the trio of Louis Rose (TKO1), Willie Fortune (TKO1) and Chris Chatman (TKO3) in impressive fashion. The 26-year old Khytrov has a record of 7-0(7 KO's).
Coley has a mark of 9-0-1(6 KO's) and according to Alperovich this will be an eight-rounder.
