BRIGGS-IBRAGIMOV LANDS IN THE WORLD-FAMOUS LUZHNIKI SPORTS PALACE IN
MOSCOW
HOLLYWOOD, Fl, March 16 – It’s fitting that a meeting of two heavyweight
kings should take place in a palace, and Seminole Warriors Boxing and
Golden Grain Promotions are pleased to announce that they have secured
such a location for the WBO Heavyweight Championship bout on June 2nd
between champion Shannon Briggs and number one contender Sultan
Ibragimov.
The 12,000 seat Luzhniki Sports Palace in Moscow will host this clash of
heavyweight titans, and great things are expected for the unbeaten
Ibragimov’s homecoming.
“The new king will be crowned in a palace, and we couldn’t be happier,”
said Leon Margules, Executive Director of Seminole Warriors Boxing.
“This is a wonderful arena with a lot of history, and we expect that the
fight fans of Russia will sell it out and watch their favorite son
challenge for the most prestigious title in boxing.”
The Luzhniki Sports Palace, part of the Luzhniki Sports Complex, is the
home arena for hockey’s Dynamo Moscow and has been used in the past for
World and European Championship competitions. It also the arena where
the famed 1972 Summit Series between, the Soviet Union and Canadian
