Fedor Cherkashin (20-0, 13 KOs) defeated Gilbert Venegas Jr. (11-2, 7 KOs) by technical knockout in the fourth round as part of a boxing evening in Florida. At the time the fight was stopped, the 26-year-old Ukrainian was leading in points.
In the fourth round, after a series of accurate blows from Cherkashin, the American's corner refused to continue the fight. For the Ukrainian middleweight, it was a return to the ring after an almost year-long break and at the same time a debut in the United States.
