Kahren Harutyunyan of Art of Boxing Promotions and Steven Bash of Bash Boxing are back to their pugilistic activities with zeal. On June 3, Art of Boxing in association with Bash Boxing stages the fourth part in the "Warner Center War" series, which will fall in Warner Center Marriott’s Grand Ballroom at Woodland Hills, California.
The latest arrangement, which took its place on March 4, was a major success with a heated collision between Yusaf Mack and Otis Griffin as well as an important USBA lightweight championship between Carlos Vinan and Ray Beltran. This time the show will be a little bit less sound but nevertheless it should be an entertaining affair for local fans.
Several talented prospects and established contenders will be featured during the event. Among those are 20-year old welterweight Hugo Centeno Jr (7-0, 6 KOs), former amateur star Anatoly “Dragon” Dudchenko (11-2, 8 KOs), who competes as a cruiserweight, and southpaw lightweight Artur Bernetsyan (7-0, 2 KOs). Also on the card is an experienced bantamweight contender Jose Luis Araiza (29-4, 20 KOs), and his former bitter rival Javier Gallo (17-4-1, 9 KOs) is also a possibility. Cruiserweight hard-hitter Medzhid Bektemirov (4-0, 4 KOs) is also part of the show alongside towering (6’3’’) super middleweight Ilshat Khusnulgatin (1-0) and debutants Eric Ruiz and Edher Lira. Bantamweight Ivan Castaneda (1-1, 1 KO) is rumored to face Bruno Escalante (3-0-1, 2 KOs) in an undercard.
The show will be aided with Ringcard Girl Bikini Contest. Doors are opening at 7 PM LT.
