Xu Boxiang was thrust into the spotlight when he was named WSB Athlete of Week 1 for a brilliant technical win in Istanbul, but he now faces the tough Ukrainian Oleh Dovhun in an intriguing bantamweight contest between two contrasting styles. Following them into the ring will be China Dragons' Meng Caicheng looking for a first win of the season against Ukraine’s current Under-22 Champion and President’s Cup silver medalist Denys Pesotskyy.
In the penultimate bout of the evening, Hanati Ayiben will make his WSB debut against the Otamans’ Baku 2015 European Games representative Valerii Kharlamov, who won his Season VI opener against Turkiye Conquerors’ Evren Tibukoglu in Week 5. Rounding off the action will be Dragons’ debuting heavyweight Zhang Zhe, gold medalist a weight higher at the ASBC Asian Confederation Youth Championships three years ago, and Ukraine Otamans' Dmytro Lisovyi, who is in good form after some great AOB results in 2015.
