Armenian heavyweight boxer Gurgen Hovhannisyan (6-0, 6 KOs) will have his third fight in 2024. The Most Valuable Prospects 7 boxing event by MVP and BoxLab Promotions will take place in Orlando, Florida, on Friday, July 26. This event will be broadcast live on DAZN.
The main event of the evening is a bout between two heavyweights: Gurgen "Big Gug" Hovhannisyan (6-0, 6 KOs) and Robert Hall Jr. (14-3, 11 KOs).
Gurgen Hovhannisyan continues to impress with his undefeated record. In his last fight, he achieved a stunning victory by knocking out Mexican Luis Pascual in the second round. This bout was the co-main event of the boxing night in Orlando and confirmed Oganesyan's reputation as one of the most promising boxers of his time.
Hovhannisyan now has 6 professional fights under his belt, all of which he won by knockout.
Robert Hall Jr., his next opponent, is 32 years old and has 17 fights under his belt, 14 of which he won, and 11 of those by knockout. He is an experienced and dangerous opponent who will surely be a serious test for Oganesyan.
Robert Hall is best known for his victory over Dimar Ortiz (13-1-2) in 2016 when he won the WBC USA Cruiserweight title, although he has lost to other serious opponents.
