Daniel Ivanovski to Face Wondon Hughes in September

Daniel Ivanovski is scheduled to fight Wondon Alonzo Hughes Jr. on September 7 at the Kentucky Center for African-American Heritage in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. Both fighters will be making their pro debut.

Ivanovski is a skilled and talented boxer from Israel. He effectively controls center ring and works behind a crisp jab, adding a sharp right hand. In 2022 at the U-22 European amateur championships, he scored two-standing eight counts against Czechia's Pavel Hrivnak but lost the decision 4-1. Hrivnak was able to counter over the top, particularly when Ivanovski occasionally pawed with the jab.

Hughes is a 29 year old from Kalamazoo, Michigan who lost his father as a kid. Hughes doesn't seem to have amateur much boxing experience, so he's a real wild card.

This bout is scheduled for four rounds in the cruiserweight division.
