According to Dan Rafael, The World Boxing Super Series bout featuring Yunier Dorticos and Dmitry Kudryashov will take place on September 23rd in San Antonio.
“I’m proud to attend a tournament where Muhammad Ali’s name is on the trophy and I’m looking forward to proving that I’m the best cruiserweight in the world,” said the No. 4-seeded Dorticos, who will be defending his secondary 200-pound title for the first time against unseeded Kudryashov.
“I am also happy that this bout is in the United States, which I now consider my country,” Dorticos said. “I am sure that on Sept. 23rd, I will be victorious.
“I can’t wait for this fight to take place. One thing is for sure — the crowd in San Antonio gets an explosive affair that doesn’t go the distance,” Kudryashov said. “I think it’s amazing that this tournament only contains the best of the best, all four reigning cruiserweight champions. I have respect for Dorticos and the other participants, but they will also respect my hammer because it will bring me all four titles and the Muhammad Ali Trophy.”
