    Comments Thread For: Ievgen Khytrov Ready For Jorge Melendez Showdown

    New York, NY - This Friday night, Ievgen Khytrov (8-0, 8KO's), arguably the most promising young prospect in all of boxing, returns to the bright lights of ESPN Friday Night Fights when he squares off against dangerous Puerto Rican contender Jorge Melendez (28-4-1, 26KO's) in the 10-round co-feature bout of the evening, live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV.

    Headlining the card is junior middleweight Tony Harrison (19-0, 16KO's) putting his undefeated record on the line against the rugged Antwone Smith (23-5-1, 12KO's).

    "Jorge Melendez is an extremely dangerous opponent and very advanced for an 8-0 prospect. Khytrov is not a normal 8-0 prospect, however; he is a beast and he is elite. He is going to prove that Friday night on ESPN," stated co-promoter Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment.

            A Brooklyn based guy that's signed to Haymon? I would be surprised if Teddy doesn't spend the telecast ripping Khytrov's trainers saying he could do a better job.

              Khytrov is a great fighter.

              Khytrov vs Golovkin will be a great superfight in the future.

                Melendez will actually try so this is a step-up for Khytrov

                  This could be a great fight. Melendez looked bigger of the two and had the impressive win over Maciel.
