"The Ukrainian Lion," Ievgen Khytrov will be making his highly anticipated return to the ring on November 21st against Louis Rose in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The middleweight bout is scheduled for eight rounds.
The former Ukrainian amateur star has remained active since making his pro debut less then a year ago. The November bout will mark the sixth ring appearance for Khytrov in 2014 and his handlers remain focused on keeping him as active as possible while gradually increasing his quality of opposition. Khytrov made a devastating national television impression in August, in which he knocked out veteran Willie Fortune in the first round. Fortune was best known for going the distance with top Middleweight Taureano Johnson in early 2013.
Louis Rose (11-1-1) is a 25 year old prospect fighting out of Lynwood, California. Rose is currently riding a three fight-2014 win streak with his most recent blemish being a draw against Paul Mendez in 2013.
