Super middleweight bomber Victor Oganov (26-0, 26 KOs), who recently signed with Dennis Hobson/Fight Academy, takes on former three-time world title contender Antwun Echols (31-6-3, 27 KOs) in a clash of KO artists on the undercard of Ricky Hatton's eagerly awaited clash with Jose Luis Castillo. "It promises to be a very special night in Las Vegas and I cannot wait to make my record 27-0 and with 27 stoppages," stated Oganov. "Echols will not know what has hit him. My nickname is the "Destroyer" and he will find out why on June 23."
Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is a close friend of Oganov's trainer Jeff Fenech and has allegedly accepted an invitation to help in the Russian fighter's corner, although the same promise was made Sultan Ibragimov last weekend, which failed to materialize. Regardless, Oganov is proceeding on the asumption that Tyson will be there. "It is a massive honour for me to have Mike Tyson in my corner and for me to be on the Ricky Hatton-Jose Luis Castillo bill," said Oganov. "It is a real treat for fight fans to see Mike Tyson in the flesh and Jeff just hopes this sort of thing will help him enjoy his life outside the ring. He could not have chosen a better night to make his debut as a cornerman."
