Hollywood, July 30 - For the first time in Russian and International professional boxing history, fighters representing the post-Soviet countries will clash to unite the heavyweight world titles.

Oscar De La Hoya, who is a co-promoter of Sultan Ibragimov, is among many celebrities and special invited guests that have confirmed plans to travel to Moscow on October 13th to witness this battle of epic proportions.

Sultan Ibragimov at 32, is in his prime and ready to unify the Heavyweight World Titles. During his five years as a professional boxer, this Russian star has twenty-one wins and one draw in his twenty-two fights, seventeen wins by knock-out. Sultan Ibragimov hoisted the Silver Medal with pride at the 2000 Olympic Games held in Sydney, Australia. continue
