NEW YORK (October 26, 2018) --Undefeated Ivan Baranchyk (18-0, 11 KOs) is destined to become a world champion when he takes on Anthony Yigit in a fight for the vacant IBF Junior Welterweight title as part of the WBSS, Saturday night in New Orleans (DAZN, 8 pm ET).

Baranchyk of Miami, Oklahoma via Russia is one of the most exciting fighters in the world as he is a come-forward fighter who likes to throw hard power shots.

In Yigit (21-0-1, 7 KOs), Baranchyk is facing a boxer from Sweden, who will be looking to stand in the way of Baranchyk's dream of becoming a world champion.

Baranchyk is looking to become the next world champion under the guidance of Split-T Management.

Baranchyk scaled 140 lbs at Friday's weigh in, while Yigit was 139.7

"I am good, and ready for this fight. It has been a dream to become world champion, and Saturday I have a chance to realize that and at the same time advance in this great tournament," said Baranchyk.

"It's a truly exciting moment in time. To have a client with such a great work ethic, and so much heart, and now seeing him get that opportunity he deserves is an outstanding feeling," said David McWater of Split-T Management.

Baranchyk is promoted by DiBella Entertainment, Fight Promotions and Holden Promotions.

Baranchyk is entertaining to watch, but he is very one dimensional. If he cannot steamroll oponent with his pressure style, then he has no plan B. It was good enough to beat lesser competition. Maybe he can defeat Yigit but i dont think he can handle Regis Prograis. Anyway i am cheering for him, i like this guy

Either Prograis or Josh Taylor should win this new WBSS but Baranchyk should be able to handle Yigit without too much trouble.
