Terence Crawford vs. Errol Spence Jr. Is arguably the best fight in boxing. Top Rank's Bob Arum wants to see that it gets made. Manny Pacquiao has no shortage of options for 2021. The highly-anticipated WBO Super Featherweight title fight between Jamel Herring and Carl Frampton will now take place at The Rotunda at Caesars, Bluewaters, Dubai on Saturday 3 April. Dubbed as ‘Legacy’, the D4G Promotions event sees American hero Jamel Herring (22-2, 10 KOs) make the third.
Sergey Alekseyevich Lipinets (Russian: Сергей Алексеевич Липинец; born 23 March 1989) is a professional boxer from Kazakhstan and former kickboxer[1] who held the IBFlight-welterweight title from 2017 to 2018. As of August 2020, he is ranked as the world's ninth best active welterweight by The Ring magazine[2] and tenth by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board.[3]
Early life and kickboxing career[edit]
Lipinets was born on Martuk, Kazakhstan, but moved to Russia at the age of 9.[4] Lipinets originally competed as a kickboxer, medaling in competitions like the 2012 W.A.K.O. European Championships and the 2013 World Combat Games.
Professional boxing career[edit]
Lamont Peterson Vs Sergey Lipinets
After a brief amateur boxing career in which he went 35–5, Lipinets turned pro in 2014.[5] After winning 10 pro bouts, Lipinets faced Lenny Zappavigna in an IBF eliminator. The winner would become the mandatory challenger to the IBF champion, the winner of an April 2017 bout between Ricky Burns and Julius Indongo. Lipinets proved to be too much for Zappavigna, as the latter went down during round 5 before being counted out following a right straight from Lipinets in round 8. Both fighters suffered several cuts during the fight.[6]
Following Indongo's win over Burns, Lipinets tried to start negotiations with the IBF champion.[7] However, the IBF granted Indongo an exception to allow him to unify all the major light welterweight titles against Terence Crawford. After Crawford's win over Indongo, the IBF ordered Crawford to defend his title against Lipinets.[8] Lipinets stated that the IBF title was 'stolen from him'.[9] As Crawford didn't plan to return to the ring before the IBF's deadline, he vacated the IBF title just 11 days after defeating Indongo.[10]
The IBF ordered Lipinets to face Akihiro Kondo for their vacant title.[11] The fight was finalized for 4 November on the undercard of a Deontay Wilder bout. The event was televised on Showtime.[12] Lipinets became the IBF champion, winning by unanimous decision (118–110, 117–111, 117–111). The decision was booed upon being announced but several media outlets scored it for Lipinets, albeit on closer cards. Lipinets connected to Kondo's body often throughout the fight, but Kondo remained unfazed by the body shots. Kondo kept coming forward and rocked Lipinets in round 5. Lipinets was cut by an accidental head clash midway through the fight.[13][14][15]
