On July 11 in Moscow, IBA.Pro 19 will feature a main event between heavyweights Murat Gassiev and Tony Yoka for Gasser's WBA regular title. The card will also include the WBA bridgerweight title defense of Muslim Gadzhimagomedov against amateur rival Julio Cesar La Cruz. Just added to the undercard are two separate bouts between Russian boxers at different stages of their professional journeys as Vyacheslav Rogozin and Alexey Egorov step into the ring against each other. Rogozin (35-3, 7 KOs), one of Russia’s promising young fighters in the bantamweight divisions, will face Filipino opponent RV Deniega (12-3, 8 KOs) in a six-round bout. 

 

While Rogozin seeks to continue his ascent, Alexey Egorov (13-3, 9 KOs) enters with different objectives. The former title challenger remains one of the most recognized names in Russian cruiserweight boxing and will take on compatriot David Dzukaev (11-0, 7 KOs) in a ten rounder. For Egorov, who dropped a 2022 title challenge Arsen Goulamirian, the bout represents an opportunity to reaffirm his status among the country’s leading cruiserweights and move closer to another major title opportunity. Dzukaev, meanwhile, faces the biggest test of his professional career and has the chance to secure a breakthrough victory against one of the division’s most experienced competitors.
