‘LA FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS 2’ 6 P.M PST/9 P.M. EST TONIGHT, LIVE ON DAZN, FEATURING STEVENS VS. KHAMUKOV PhilBoxing.com Sat, 21 Jun 2025  Tonight! Friday, June 20, Paco Presents, Golden Boy Promotions and Robert Garcia’ House of Champions will proudly present the second installment of their “LA Friday Night Fights” professional boxing series from Thunder Studios in Long Beach, CA, and streamed live tonight on global sports giant DAZN (9:00 pm ET/6:00 pm PT). In the 10-round super middleweight main event, Reading, Pennsylvania’s David “Dynamite” Stevens (14-2, 10 KOs) will face undefeated Petr “The Surgeon” Khamukov (13-0, 6 KOs) of Woodland Hills, CA via Labinsk, Russia. David Stevens was also an accomplished amateur before turning professional in 2018, having won two Junior Olympic Gold Medals, a Silver Gloves Championship, a Ringside World Championship, and the 2017 USA Boxing Youth National title. The 24-year-old Stevens was last seen fighting to a respectable and close split decision loss against international top prospect Bektemir Melikuziev of Uzbekistan in November of last year. Before that, Stevens impressively took the undefeated 0 from the formidable Sean Hemphill (then 14-0) by eighth-round knockout in January 2023. “I have been hard at work in the gym and waiting for an opportunity to get back into the ring,” said David Stevens. “I am thankful to Golden Boy for getting me this main event fight, and I can’t wait to show the world I have what it takes to be at the top.” As an amateur, Petr Khamukov was a 2016 Olympian for his Russian homeland. In over 115 elite-level international fights, he was also crowned the 2015 European and 2016 Russian National Champion. The 33-year-old turned professional in 2018 and has split his ring time between Mexico and the United States ever since. Khamukov holds a decision victory over respected veteran Vaughn Alexander in March of last year and was last seen stopping Mexico’s Esau Herrera de la Cruz in three rounds in May of last year at the Fox Theater in Redwood City. "My team and I are excited to finally showcase what we've been working on,” said Khamukov. “I'm looking forward to showing everyone why I'm called ‘The Surgeon.’ I know David Stevens is a tough, rugged fighter, but there are levels to this game. I’m here to show I belong. I’m willing to fight the best and leave my mark in the game.” Also scheduled for action in separate bouts are Leonardo Ruiz (15-1, 8 KOs) of San Bernardino, CA in the eight-round super welterweight co-feature against Jarrod Tennant (9-4, 4 KOs) of Los Angeles.
