Ivanovski, a 24 year old Israeli, was slated to fight a more experienced boxer. Now, he takes on a rugged 37 year from Nebraska. Small had only one win on his boxing ledger, a first round knockout in his home state back in 2022. That's his lone fight as a pro boxer, but he has fought over ten times in MMA battles.
MMA fighters are often tough competitors who fight out of squared stances. Their punch technique isn't usually the best for boxing, but they often have long-lasting motors. Small will be coming up in weight as he has mostly fought in the 170s.
This bought is a cruiserweight affair scheduled for four rounds.
