Posad, Russia’s Evgeny “The Eagle” Nikitin (5-5, 2 KOs) for the
World Professional Boxing Federation Super Welterweight

Veteran commentator Corey Erdman will begin calling the action

undefeated super welterweight Vadim Musaev (3-0) taking on
Mariupol, Ukraine’s Artem Lim (5-4, 2 KOs).
Also featured will be Vladimir, Russia’s Vaghinak Tamrazyan
(17-8, 5 KOs) taking on Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania’s Meshack “Smart
Boy” Mwankemwa (21-9-2, 13 KOs) in a middleweight eight-rounder,
as well as undefeated Russian redhead Alexander Devyatov (10-0,
9 KOs) of Saratov, Russia, going against durable South African

eight-round lightweight struggle.
And in an “all Russian” female special attraction, Moscow’s
Luiza Davydova (4-2, 2 KOs) will face Saint Petersburg’s Yuliya
Smyzhina (0-2) over six rounds in the super welterweight
division.
“This card is packed with the next generation of boxing talent
from the from the former Eastern Bloc,” said promoter Dmitriy
Salita. Don’t miss a chance to see many of the Russian stars of
tomorrow before they become big names in the United States.
Thanks to my partners, Shamo Boxing, and to the FITE.TV team who
always go above and beyond.”
Erdman, a boxing-media insider and commentary veteran for ESPN,
NBC, CBS, SpikeTV, BoxNation, DAZN and SNY, as well as UFC Fight
Pass' recurring series Broadway Boxing, says he’s happy to be
returning to his duties behind the microphone for Salita’s
ongoing series of live streamed events.
"Dmitriy continues to do the important work of giving women
platforms in boxing and beyond that, normalizing them being in
the main event of a broadcast,” he said. “I am very much looking
forward to calling this event, the Levina vs. Munjabei main
event in particular. Tamrazyan vs. Mwankemwa is a really
interesting fight as well, because both of these guys are used
to getting assignments against top prospects and hometown
fighters, so they’re both underrated. Now they get a chance to
be in a 50-50 fight and could produce fireworks together.
Tamrazyan had a good argument for winning his last fight against
Bobby Mominov who went on to fight on NBC not long after. Both
Tamrazyan and Mwankemwa are really solid fighters that are
better than their records suggest.”
