On 19 December, RED ARENA in Sochi will play host to a major international tournament promoted by the promotional company RCC Boxing. The evening’s main event will determine the holder of the prestigious WBA Gold International welterweight title (up to 63.5 kg).
The narrative surrounding this matchup is built on both sporting stakes and deep personal history. For Sochi’s Vage Sarukhanyan (22-4-2, 4 KOs), this night holds special significance, marking his first fight in front of a home crowd in five years. Now, he has the opportunity to capture an international belt right before his fellow townsmen. Standing across the ring from the seasoned veteran is the promising and still undefeated prospect from Mozhaysk, Arman Galstyan (8-0, 3 KOs). For the young fighter, this bout represents one of the most serious challenges of his professional career, where a victory over a proven competitor like Sarukhanyan would open a direct road to top-level fights on the world stage.
Beyond the main event, the undercard features an exciting lineup of local talent. Stepping into the ring are Oganes Ustyan, Igor Adleiba, Nestor Dzhanba, and German Ardzhenia, representing Sochi, Krasnodar Territory, and Abkhazia. Back in August, these fighters secured confident victories at RED ARENA, amid deafening support from the stands. On 19 December, they will once again look to feed off the audience’s energy.
For fight fans, this is a prime opportunity to experience world-class professional boxing live. The tournament takes place on 19 December, with doors opening at 18:00. (Age restriction: 12+)
