In August at the Olympic Games Alexander Ustinov (11-0, 9 КОs), a heavyweight of «K2 East Promotions» promotional company, will fight Brazilian Daniel Bispo (21-10, 15 KOs). The fight will be organized by «Russian House of Olympiad’s Friends» under National Olympic Committee of Russia. This fight is scheduled for August 22nd on the eve of Olympic boxing finals. There will be no amateur fights that day that is why boxing fans will be able to enjoy pro fight Ustinov-Bispo. Alexander will have a chance to increase the army of his fans – a lot of guests of the Olympic Games from CIS will gather together in «Russian House», with numerous businessmen, politicians, show biz celebrities and journalists among them.

Andrei Lyabakh, a matchmaker of «K2 East Promotions» believes that Daniel Bispo is quite a good opponent for Ustinov’s 12th pro fight. «Bispo is 34 years old; he fought in total 26 fights as both cruiserweight and heavyweight. A year ago Daniel managed to hold out 10 rounds fighting Corrie Sanders, earlier he fought Fres Oquendo who five years ago was considered as a possible new heavyweight champion, – Mr. Lyabakh continues. – This upcoming fight in Beijing is a perfect chance for Ustinov to get prepared for the fight with an American heavyweight (we plan to hold a fight with an American pro in the first half of October). Bispo resembles that fighter in height and southpaw stance».

The fact that National Olympic Committee of Russia chose Ustinov for fight in Beijing is evidence that he is considered to be one of the hottest heavyweight prospects in CIS.
