K2 East Promotions (former National Boxing Promotions) will be back into action tonight, Sunday 23, in Dniepropetrovsk, Ukraine, with its second large show of this boxing season. In the main event, European light middleweight titlist Zaurbek Baysangurov (17-0, 12 KOs) puts his belt at stake for the first time in an optional defense versus Ukrainian contender Roman Dzuman (23-4-1, 10 KOs).

Baysangurov (WBC #8, IBF #8 and WBA #11) claimed his title last July barely outpointing French veteran Hussein Bayram. He was then scheduled to meet exciting British banger Jamie Moore in December but that fight has never taken place due to Zaur’s health issues. He was back in ring a month ago showing some rust against Romanian Gheorghe Danut on his route to unanimous decision. It’s interesting to note that while competing almost solely in Ukraine and Germany Zaurbek is a proud native of Chechen Achhoy-Martan and represents Russia in the ring. Dzuman, a tough competitor who has never been stopped inside the distance, last fought in September getting a draw against Moldavian Ivan Gontsa.

Also Ukrainian-based Georgian Avtandil Khurtsidze (13-1-2, 9 KOs) challenges Latvian Jurijs Borejko (14-10-2, 9 KOs) for the vacant EBA title on middleweight division and another K2 East promoted fighter Sergey Fedchenko (19-0, 9 KOs) is planned for a ten-round scrap versus Gari Abajian (7-4).
