November 10, in Manchester, the undisputed cruiserweight champion Alexander Usyk will defend his titles in a battle with former world champion Tony Bellew. On the undercard of the evening staged by Matchroom Boxing, another Ukrainian fighter will enter the ring – the middleweight Dmytro Mytrofanov (2-0, 1 KO). Dmytro's rival will be Gino Kanters (5-2, 3 KOs) of the Netherlands.
For 28-year-old Mytrofanov this will be the third fight as a pro. Mytrofanov had a brilliant amateur career: the bronze medal of the European Championship and successful participation in the World Series of Boxing as part of the "Ukrainian Atamans" and "Mexico City Gerreros" teams.
Dmytro's professional debut took place last October in the United States, where he won by technical knockout over local boxer Brandon Maddox. The next opponent of the Ukrainian was also the representative of the United States Marcus Wills, whom Mytrofanov convincingly figured out on points.
In the event of a victory over Kanters on November 10, boxer managed by Egis Klimas will sign a contract with K2 Promotions, the company of the Klitschko brothers.
