On December 3, the old Russian city of Ekaterinburg will host possibly its best boxing show in history. Well-known promoter German Titov with the assistance of the Russian Professional Boxing Federation will stage a huge card featuring several of the best post-Soviet fighters with four twelve-rounders for the minor regional belts.
Headlining the show will be up and coming Russian junior welterweight KO artist Sergey Sorokin (22-1-1, 17 KOs), who is in hard negotiations with Bobby Bostick Promotions. He will fight Argentinean Victor Hugo Castro (23-2-0, 11 KOs) for three belts including the vacant WBO Asian Pacific, and both WBA and IBF intercontinental titles at 140 lbs.

27-year old Russian heavyweight Dennis Bakhtov (22-4, 14 KOs) is scheduled to take on tough Ukrainian Andriy Oleynik (12-5, 10 KOs) for the PABA Interim title. Bakhtov is the former WBC international champion with kayo losses to world-rated Sinan Samil Sam and Saul Montana. Oleynik, 26, is coming off a respective loss on points to unbeaten prospect Donnell Holmes and a scintillating decision over Kendrik Releford.

Two-time world title challenger Alexander Gurov (38-5-1, 33 KOs) will try to find his third path to championship contention, starting with a bout for the vacant WBO Asian Pacific cruiserweight belt versus James Lubwama of Uganda (17-3-2, 10 KOs).

Kuvanych Toygonbayev (25-4, 16 KOs) of Uzbekistan, coming off a crushing defeat from the hands of Alisultan Nadirbegov, will fight for the vacant WBO Asian Pacific light middleweight title against Chilean Joel Sebastyan Mayo (38-9, 25 KOs).

Tough Russian lightweight Rustam Nugaev (15-5-1, 8 KOs) will face Mexican Efren Hinojosa (29-2-1, 17 KOs) in scheduled twelve-rounder.

Also Russian Vyacheslav Gusev (9-1, 1 KO) will fight TBA in a special twelve-round featherweight attraction, while Kazakhstani super flyweight Marat Mazimbaev (17-4-1, 12 KOs) is going to face Russian featherweight Dmitr Ryabikov (7-9, 3 KOs) in eight-rounder.
