Abregu To Provodnikov: After I KO Ali, Big Fight is Here!

Former junior welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov (23-3, 16KOs) is now being targeted by another dangerous puncher, Luis Carlos Abregu (36-1, 29KOs), who faces unbeaten Olympian Sadam Ali (20-0, 12KOs) on November 8th at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.

In a recent article on BoxingScene.com, Provodnikov complained that he was turned down by several Top Rank promoted fighters.

Provodnikov's promoter Artie Pelullo, CEO of Banner Promotions, claimed Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum was refusing to offer up Tim Bradley, Diego Chaves, Jessie Vargas and Brandon Rios. Provodnikov returns on November 28th in Moscow, Russia.

"I have spoken to Top Rank directly, and [Arum] has categorically told myself and HBO - that Tim Bradley, Brandon Rios, Vargas and Chaves are off the table for Ruslan Provodnikov," Pelullo told BoxingScene.com.

Abregu is ready to face Provodnikov in the first quarter of 2015.

"I have a fight on November 8 on HBO against Sadam Ali. When I knock him out I am happy to give you a big fight right here. I am the most feared welterweight in the world. I was turned down by Brandion Rios, Mike Alvarado and by Tim Bradley for a rematch - [and] you were turned down by them. So it makes sense for me and you to fight. Two warriors that are both avoided by the best welterweights in the world. Let's give the fans what they want. Argentineans are the most exciting fighters in the world. We come to fight, not to run. Our styles are made for a 'Fight of The Year' candidate," Abregu said in a statement to BoxingScene.com.

Provodnikov To Abregu: Fight Me in Russia For 500K!

Yesterday in an article by BoxingScene.com's Carlos Boogs, Luis Carlos Abregu challenged Ruslan Provodnikov to a fight after both fighters get past their upcoming bouts. Abregu said that he has been avoided as much as Provodnikov and that a potential clash would be a Fight of the Year candidate.

When advised of Abregu's comments, Provodnikov issued his own statement to BoxingScene.com and took it a step further by saying that Abregu should bypass his showdown against Sadam Ali and travel to Russia to fight him on November 28th.

"I have said yes to the Abregu fight even when it was being discussed a month or two ago. I know that my manager has asked them if he would fight me at a catchweight because I can fight at 147, but my weight class that I'm most comfortable is 140. Vadim (his manager) said he never got a response from them on that. But I'm ready to go up in weight and fight him at 147 if it's the fight that HBO and everybody wants to see. I don't know who you're fighting now, but if you want the fight so bad, fight me November 28th in Russia. The offer is a half a million and a contract can be sent tomorrow," said Provodnikov.
