In one of the main events of the evening in New Orleans, in the battle for the vacant IBF junior welterweight title, Ivan Baranchyk (19-0, 12 KOs) stopped Anthony Yigit (21-1-1, 7 KOs) after the doctor recommended the referee to withdraw the latter after the seventh round due to a serious swelling near the left eye. Thus, Baranchyk passed to the semi-finals of the second season of the World Boxing Super Series, where he will meet with the winner of Josh Taylor - Ryan Martin, who will meet in a week, on November 3, in Glasgow.
Baranchyk went forward and dominated the battle. In the seventh round Baranchyk was penalized for one point for holding Yigit’s head down.
