Boxcino Series: Vitalii Kopylenko

Boxcino

When Ukrainian middleweight Vitalii Kopylenko (22-0, 12 KOs) takes the ring February 28 in Hammond, Indiana, he’ll do so knowing that his fight with Cerresso Fort (17-2-1, 11 KOs) will pale in comparison to the ongoing conflict in his homeland. At the forefront of the civil unrest is fellow boxer and heavyweight champ Vitali Vitalii Kopylenko2Klitschko, whose UDAR party is among the groups seeking a position within the Ukrainian government.
