Russian heavyweight prospect Pavel Doroshilov (2-0) is getting a very big test on April 5th when he faces countryman veteran Denis Bakhtov (39-10, 26KOs) at the Sports Palace in Noginsk, Russia. Bakhtov had a 3-1 run in 2014 with a win over Sedrak Agagulyan and an upset victory over Konstantin Airich, before getting stopped in two rounds by rising prospect Anthony Joshua in October. The Russian pug came back the next month to knock out Yuri Lunev in three rounds.

Doroshilov, 20-years-old, opened up his career last August with a four round decision win over very faded British contender Danny Williams and then beat Morris Okola by decision in December.
