Ivan Dychko may be the best heavyweight you’ve never heard of.
Of course, that will all change on September 13 when the unbeaten Kazakhstan native faces Jermaine Franklin Jr. in front of more than 60,000 fans in Allegiant Stadium on the Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford undercard.
It’s a career-changing opportunity for the 35-year-old, but he’s not getting overwhelmed by the moment.
“I like to be at a big field with a lot of people, but I like to be in the ring to show my boxing level, so it's just another fight.”
If you haven’t guessed by now, nothing faces Dychko too much, but make no mistake about it, this is not just another fight.
