Georgiy Yunovidov defends the WBA interim bridgerweight title this Saturday against Vartan Arutyunyan in the main event in Chelyabinsk, Russia a city near the Kazakh border. The Russian  Yunovidov is known for his technical solidity and durability, boasting a professional record of 12-2 including IBA pro bouts. Arutyunyan is 11-0 but not really tested, with the most notable name on his resume being Dilan Prasovic. The winner will move one step closer to a shot at the regular WBA Bridgerweight title, currently held by fellow Russian Muslim Gadzhimagomedov. On the same show, the WBA creates another interim title as Azerbaijan’s Elnur Samedov squares off against Colombia’s John Lenon Gutiérrez at 130 pounds. Samedov (21-1) enters the matchup with the advantage of fighting on familiar ground, having made Russia his regular base of operations. The Colombian Gutiérrez, meanwhile, is 11-0 but completely untested.
