Shishkin-Riojas: Live coverage, 7 pm ET
Vladimir Shishkin is back in action tonight on UFC Fight Pass.
The Kronk Gym in Detroit will play host to a Salita Promotions boxing card tonight, streaming live at 7 pm ET on UFC Fight Pass, and Bad Left Hook will be here for live updates, results, and discussion.
In the main event, super middleweight Vladimir Shishkin will look to stay unbeaten as he takes on Mexican veteran Oscar Riojas in a 10-round fight. The 29-year-old Russian Shishkin, now based in Detroit, is hoping to get into contention at 168 sooner than later, having turned pro in 2016. This fight’s really a sideways step at best for him in terms of competition, at least on paper, but fighters need to fight right now, and a bout with the 36-year-old Riojas will serve to get Shishkin active.
30-year-old middleweight Timur Kerefov, another Russia-to-Detroit fighter, will also be in action against Calvin Metcalf and his legendary hairdo in an eight-round bout.
