According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, WBA Cruiserweight Denis Lebedev champion will defend against former champion Guillermo Jones on May 17th in Moscow.
“I tell the Russian fans who are ringside to be careful because there will be blood,” said Jones, who is predicting a knockout victory inside five rounds. “I am the tiger but I don’t speak Russian. No translator will be needed as my hands will speak for me.”
“My Russian co-promoters named the fight, ‘The One Will Stand,’ and it will be from Russia with love,” King said. “This is a gigantic promotion between Russia and Panama and I want to thank Andrey Ryabinsky for making this possible. The Panamanian people and their president, Ricardo Martinelli, will be watching with great interest.”
Said Lebedev, trained by fellow Russian and Hall of Famer Kostya Tszyu, the former undisputed junior welterweight champion, “I’m glad Don, Andrey and Vlad have named the fight ‘The One Will Stand’ as I plan on being the last man standing at the end of the fight.”
