The Jamaican-born and US-based boxer took down the previously undefeated Leon Lawson in his last professional fight. In his career, Gallimore also defeated former unified world super middleweight champion Jason Rosario.
Cherkashin made his debut in front of the American public in August of this year, defeating Gilbert Venegas ahead of schedule. The November fight will be, perhaps, the most difficult test in the professional career of the 26-year-old Ukrainian.
The main event of this evening will be the fight for the regular WBA super middleweight belt between David Morrell (7-0, 6 KOs) and Aidos Yerbosynuly (16-0, 11 KOs). This will be the second performance of the Cuban this year.
