Promoter Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions proudly announces the signing of undefeated super bantamweight prospect Vladimir Tikhonov to a promotional contract.
A pro since 2008, the 25-year-old southpaw, from Saint Petersburg, Russia, sports an undefeated record of 13-0, 7 KOs. As an amateur boxer who finished with a record of 85-15, Tikhonov was a gold medallist at the 2008 All-Russia Class A Tournament 2008 in Togliatti and a silver medallist in 2007 and was recognized as the best boxer of the tournament. He has also been given the designation as a Sport Master of Russia.
Tikhonov has had only 13 fights in eight years and ventured out of his native country only once as a professional. Promoter Salita says that's about to change.
"Vladimir is an extremely talented fighter with excellent potential to become a world champion," said Salita. "We are going to get him active and bring him to the United States where he can become known as a top contender in his division. I am very happy to have formed this agreement with one of Russia's best up-and-coming fighters."
"I am excited to sign with Salita Promotions and look forward to fighting the best fighters in my division," said Vladimir Tikhonov. "I have been boxing my whole life. My amateur and pro experience will be important in fights against top competition. I am very hungry to show that I am the best Super Bantamweight in the world."
Salita says Tikhonov's first fight under his promotional banner will be announced shortly, but the focus will be on securing him a shot against one of the division's best including WBA Champions Guillermo Rigondeaux and Scott Quigg, as well as IBF Champion Carl Frampton and WBO boss Nonito Donaire.
