Glazkov vs Oloukun is Set For Pirog-Ishida Undercard

By Alexey Sukachev

Another compelling fight has been added to the slowly growing undercard for Dmitry Pirog’s Moscow defense on May 1. Ukrainian heavyweight prospect Vycheslav Glazkov (11-0, 8 KOs), who is also a 2008 Beijing Olympics super heavyweight bronze medalist, faces well-known Nigerian prospect-turned-gatekeeper Gbenga “Bang-Bang” Oloukun (19-7, 12 KOs) over ten rounds at the Krylatskoe Sport Palace.

Oloukun, 28 and a former Olympian for Nigeria in Athens 2004, is just 3-7 in his last ten fights but he defeated former world champion Lamon Brewster and heavyweight contender Konstantin Airich during this mediocre run. He was last seen in the ring more than a year ago when he lost to Carlos Takam in one-sided fashion.

Glazkov–Oloukun bout lands on the undercard of the third personal defense of the WBO middleweight title, which is now possessed by Russian Dmitry Pirog. Pirog takes on Nobuhiro Ishida.
