On Saturday November 13th Integrity Fighter Management in association with Star Boxing will host a night of professional boxing at the Cathedral Room in Pittsburgh, PA.
True to form of their previous shows, Integrity has put together another throwback card with well-matched fights. The last time the Oakland section of Pittsburgh had pro boxing was in 2003 when there was an HBO card featuring Paul Spadafora VS Leonard Dorin for the WBA and IBF Lightweight titles.
Integrity’s 10 round main event will feature Pittsburgh’s 12-0 (5KO) Oleh “the Ukrainian Pitbull” Dovhun taking on Baltimore’s 14-2-1 (10KO) Glenn Dezurn for the NABA super bantamweight Belt. The winner of this fight will receive an automatic top 15 WBA ranking.
The undefeated 122 lb. southpaw, Dovhun, began boxing in his hometown of Stebnyk, Ukraine at 10-years-old where he amassed an impressive 347 amateur fights. Dovhun was a member of the Elite WSB Ottoman Team, which produced greats like Vasyl Lomenchenko, and won 5 Ukrainian National Titles.
Four years ago, Dovhun moved to Pittsburgh PA to train under Michael McSorley of the Conn-Greb Boxing Club. Together, the team of Dovhun and McSorley have not lost a round in the pro ranks, going 12-0 with 5KO’s with notable wins over Daron Williams (then 7-0 4KO's) and 3rd round stoppage of durable 12-7 Derrick Wilson.
Baltimore’s hard punching Dezurn is riding a 5 fight winning streak into this fight and four of those wins were by early stoppage. Dezurn’s wife, Franchon Crews-Dezurn, is an eight time national amateur champion and 7-1 as a professional and won the WBC and WBO world female super middleweight titles against Maricela Cornejo on September 14th, 2019.
