Split-T Management's Ivan Baranchyk stops Anthony Yigit in 7 to win IBF Junior Welterweight title
NEW YORK (October 30, 2018) --Split-T Management's Ivan Baranchyk won the IBF Junior Welterweight title with a 7th round stoppage over Anthony Yigit.
The bout, which took place in New Orleans, was also part of the World Boxing Super Series, giving Baranchyk more than just a world title to celebrate.
Baranchyk took the fight to Yigit, as he landed many power shots that made the left eye of Yigit swell very badly. With the eye just about closed, the fight was halted after the 7th frame, gibing Baranchyk the coveted world title.
Baranchyk will now face the winner of next Saturday's contest between Josh Taylor and Ryan Martin, which will take place in Glasgow, Scotland.
"This is the best feeling in the world," said Baranchyk. "To become world champion, I feel like I am the best fighter in the tournament. It was a good fight, I was able to implore my style and get the stoppage. I will rest for a a week or so, and then start my work for my next fight."
"I couldn't be happier than I am for Ivan. He deserved this and worked for it as hard as anyone can. You have to be around Ivan to really realize how intense and dedicated he is. We are looking forward to the next round and I honestly don't think Ivan cares which one he fights," said David McWater of Split T Management.
Baranchyk is promoted by DiBella Entertainment, Holden promotions and Fight Promotions.
