New York, NY - Over the past two years, DiBella Entertainment and Fight Promotions have been extremely active in bringing over and signing a number of the top amateur stars from Ukraine. Not looking to slow up their pace, the two promotional outfits announced this week the signing of 2012 Olympian Pavlo Ischenko. Ischenko joins fellow 2012 Olympic stable-mate Ievgen Khytrov, as well as the already world-rated, red-hot Sergey Derevyanchenko, Ivan Golub and Ivan Baranchyk. The 22-year-old Ischenko, now living and training in Brooklyn, is set to make his official pro debut in the coming months.

Max Alperovich of Fight Promotions has advised BoxingScene.com that they have added to their growing stable of fighters, most of whom hail from countries from the former Soviet Union. Their latest signee is Pavlo Ischenko. "He was on 'the Dream Team' with (Vasyl) Lomachenko, (Ivegen Khytrov) and (Oleksader) Usyk. He's a 130-pounder, huge puncher, got a lot of power with his left and right hand. He was the 2013 AIBA European champion, fought in the Olympics."
