Welterweight (up to 66.7 kg) Karen Chukhadzhyan (21-1, 11 KOs) dealt with an Australian who had never boxed outside his homeland before
Blake Minto (14-3-2, 3 KOs).

In a non-title fight in the middleweight division (up to 72.6 kg), Ukrainian Andrey Velikovsky (21-2-2, 14 KOs) defeated
Catalin Paraskivianu (21-2, 7 KOs) from Romania.
In the 6th round, Velikovsky almost knocked his opponent out of the ring. He got tangled in the ropes, got to his feet not without problems and even tried to continue the fight. Paraskivianu went into survival mode, but did not last long: he fell under a flurry of attacks from the Ukrainian, after which the referee intervened and stopped the fight.
Velikovsky TKO 6.
