It’s official — an all-Ukrainian heavyweight bout has been confirmed between Andriy Novytskyi (15-0, 11 KOs) and Vladyslav Sirenko (22-0, 19 KOs). The two undefeated fighters will face off on July 19 at Wembley Stadium in London, United Kingdom, in the undercard of the undisputed world heavyweight title bout between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois.
The fight will be contested for the WBC International Heavyweight Title (over 90.7 kg) and will be broadcast live on DAZN.
On May 23, Novytskyi scored a first-round knockout victory over David Segarra. Sirenko last fought in October, when he stopped Brandon Carmack via technical knockout in the fourth round. He was scheduled to face Dillian Whyte on June 7, but the British side unexpectedly withdrew at the last moment.
