Last time we saw former world champion Ivan Baranchyk in the ring, he was in the 2020 fight of the year against Jose “Chon” Zepeda. They say you’re never the same after a fight like the Zepeda-Baranchyk war.

On Sunday, Baranchyk (22-2, 13 KOs) will be in action against unbeaten Montana Love (15-0-1, 7 KOs) on the Paul-Woodley PPV. “I’m excited. I’m hungry and I’m ready for the next challenge,” said Baranchyk Wednesday.

“He’s never fought anybody like me. He’s never been ten rounds. I’m ready for a long-distance fight. Of course, he’s going to try to move around a lot and box me. But this is no problem for me. I’ve changed my style a little bit. I will try to show everybody the new Ivan Baranchyk.

“We will see what’s next for me. Right now, I just need to fight Montana Love. We will see what happens after that.”

  • Montana Love is this crip pop ghetto kid, with a project mentality, worse than Adrien Jerome Broner. The kind of punk that needs to get his ass kicked.

    I am going to enjoy watching this fight. The girls & I will watch it in the VIP, with full bottle service, rooting on Baranchyk.

  • You would think that fight had to have taken something from Baranchyk. Zepeda looked bad in his next fight against Hank Lundy. I don’t know what he has but it’s a fantastic opportunity for Montana Love.

    • Montana Love is a punk. A thug. He will be exposed, and get the ass beating his parents failed to give him as a kid.

  • Montana Love is the real deal. I thought he got the better of Tank Davis in sparring. He’s also a nice guy. Have met him several times.
