Ivanovski, a 23 year old from Israel, walked to the ring to the rhymes of Ice Cube's The Gutter Shit. BoxRec lists his weight as 191.5, five pounds heavier than Hughes. The Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Commission told The Jewish Boxing Blog the official weights were Ivanovski 191 and Hughes 186.4 pounds.
When the opening bell rang, Ivanovski immediately took control of center ring and quickly established himself with a feint and a jab to the body. Hughes featured an unorthodox style. He repeatedly switched stances but didn't pose a threat from either side. His offense amounted to a few wild attempts.

Meanwhile, Ivanovski opened up halfway threw the first with a jab, right to the body, left hook combo. He pressured with intelligent foot placement and unloaded when Hughes backed into the corner. Body shots kept Hughes from running too much.
Two minutes in, Daniel started a five-punch combination with a flush right to the body. Referee Jason Abbott issued a standing eight-count, which is permitted in Kentucky. The call simply delayed the inevitable.

When the fight restarted, Ivanovski didn't rush his work. He showed a jab that disguised a sharp straight right. After a few looping shots, he put Hughes down with a clubbing right. Abbott waved off the fight.
Hughes was an overmatched opponent, but Ivanovski still showed good promise in his pro debut.
