Edited Press Release: Sultan Ibragimov and Ray Austin will face each other for some high stakes in an IBF Heavyweight elimination bout at the Seminole Hard Rock Live Arena in Hollywood, Florida on Friday, July 28, 2006. The victor will be just one win away from becoming a world champion. The title is currently held by Wladimi Klitschko. Ibragimov-Austin, part of a night of boxing presented by Warrior Boxing Promotions, Golden Grain Promotions and Sampson Lewkowicz, will be televised live on ESPN2's Friday Night Fights beginning at 9pm ET / 6pm PT.  The undercard will be announced at a later date. One of the division's rising stars, Sultan Ibragimov (19-0, 16 KOs) is a 2000 Olympic silver medalist who has so far shown success in the pro ranks.  Coming off a seventh round victory over Lance Whitaker last December, the aggressive power-puncher from Russia is looking forward to facing Klitschko, a fellow Eastern European, for the IBF title if he can get by Austin on July 28th. A Cleveland native, Austin (24-3-3, 16 KOs) has not lost a fight since 2001, a streak encompassing 12 fights.  Owner of wins over Cisse Salif and Owen Beck and a draw against Larry Donald, Austin is coming off a second round stoppage of Jeremy Bates in April.
