Comments Thread For: Bolotniks Planning Riga Return With All-Latvian Summer Showdown

[BoxingUpdates]

Ricards Bolotniks wants to bring competitive fights back to his native Riga, Latvia. The Latvian light heavyweight, 20-7-1 (8 KOs), appeared from relative obscurity with wins over the UK's Steven Ward and Hosea Burton in 2019 and 2020, following up with a knockout victory over the undefeated Serge Michel. Bolotniks was the underdog every time.

Not sure he was the underdog in any of those fights. Was definitely favourite vs Michel. Pretty sure he was a slight favourite against Burton due to the location. I’m going off UK odds though, maybe it differed depending on the location.

I think Bolotniks has always been with LNK promotions but just happened to fight on alot of Matchroom cards (as the opponent). I know he has been critical of how Matchroom treated him as the opponent in the past.
