Another pugilist from Russia who is preparing himself for the future challenges on the long and hard way to the title is Ivan Kirpa. Right now he’s training in Wild Card gym, California, under the common regulation by Freddie Roach and is close to sign a deal with American promoter he prefers not to talk about at the moment. Once Ivan Kirpa was known well around Europe as one of the most talented welterweights in business but unfortunately things changed considerably just in months and soon he found himself near the possible end of his promising boxing career.
