Ukrainian heavyweight Vyacheslav Glazkov, who won an Olympic bronze medal in the 2008 games, is planning to return to the ring after a serious injury at the end of the summer, according to his promoter Kathy Duva of Main Events.
Ukrainian heavyweight Vyacheslav Glazkov is still recovered from injuries due to a second operation which took place in the fall, according to his promoter Kathy Duva of Main Events.
Olympic bronze medal winner Vyacheslav 'Czar' Glazkov is still recovering from a right knee injury that he suffered in January during a championship fight with Charles Martin.
In January of this year, 31-year-old Ukrainian Vyacheslav 'Czar' Glazkov suffered his first career defeat in a fight for the vacant IBF heavyweight title against 29-year-old American Charles Martin.
Showtime kicked off its 2016 season of boxing coverage with a January 16 heavyweight doubleheader live from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. In the main event, Deontay Wilder celebrated his one-year anniversary as a heavyweight titlist with a 9th round knockout of Artur Szpilka. Opening the telecast, Charles Martin claimed a vacant belt in anti-climactic fashion when Vyacheslavez tore apart his right knee in round three and was unable to continue.
Totowa, NJ: The radiology report is in and it appears that heavyweight contender Vyacheslav "Czar" Glazkov suffered a more severe knee injury than originally believed in his bout with Charles Martin on Saturday night.
Heavyweight contender Vyacheslav "Czar" Glazkov (21-1-1, 13KOs) is very disappointed after suffering his first defeat in a freak accident this past Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Glazkov faced Charles Martin (23-0-1, 21KOs) for the vacant IBF heavyweight championship.
Boxing promoters and managers tend to have high hopes for most of the fighters they sign. Not all of those dreams become reality, but occasionally they do. And Leon Margules of Warriors Boxing says that he knew the day would come that Charles Martin would have a heavyweight title around his waist.
In the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING opener, Charles Martin won the IBF Heavyweight World Championship when Vyacheslav Glazkov suffered a right knee injury in the third round and was unable to continue. The fight was scored a third round TKO (1:50) after Glazkov told referee Earl Brown that he was unable to continue.
Charles Martin’s win over Vyacheslav Glazkov is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, Martin picked up a vacant heavyweight world title with a third-round technical knockout. On the other hand, the victory came as a result of Glazkov suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, which meant that Martin didn’t get the satisfaction of having people see the win come at his hands and as a spotlight performance of what he can do in the ring.
