The 24-year-old light heavyweight star “Bek Bully” Bektemir Melikuziev (6-0, 5 KOs) will meet “big Chief” Morgan Fitch (19-4-1, 8 KOs) on Golden Boy Promotions’ February 13 world title twinbill on DAZN from Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California. Melikuziev, who currently holds the WBO Inter-Continental and WBA Continental Americas belts, was slated to face former world champion Sergei Kovalev last Saturday, but that fight was scrapped after Kov failed a drug test.
Fitch gets stopped in his last fight and gets rewarded with a more dangerous opponent. Prayers for Fitch…
Yep, lost 4 out of last 5 fights and now goes up from super middle to face unbeaten Bek Bully.
Only fighter willing to take fight on short notice.
