Jan 16, 2016 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- ST. PETERSBURG, Russia - Another potentially
explosive match has been added to an already top heavy-loaded M-1
Challenge 64, taking place February 19 at Olympic Stadium in
Moscow, as Pavel
Vitruk takes on Sergey
Morozov in a special M-1 Challenge bantamweight semifinal
eliminator.
The M-1 Challenge 64 headliner finds newly M-1 Global-signed Alexander Volkov (24-6-0, M-1: 8-3-0), of Russia, against powerful Estonian challenger Denis Smoldarev (11-1-0, M-1: 7-1-0) for the vacant M-1 Challenge heavyweight championship.
In the co-feature, M-1 Challenge lightweight champion Mansour
Barnaoui (12-3-0, M-1: 2-2-0), fighting out of Paris, defends
his title against Belarussian challenger Artiom
Damkovsky (20-9-0, M-1: 10-6-0)
M-1 Challenge 64 will be streamed live from Moscow in high definition on www.M1Global.TV. Viewers will be able to watch the preliminary fights and main card by logging on to register at www.M1Global.TV . Fans may watch all of the action on their computers, as well as on Android and Apple smart phones and tablets.
The 26-year-old Morozov (4-0-0, M-1: 2-0-0) is coming off a pair of impressive second-round stoppages via punches over Andy Young at M-1 Challenge 59 and Rijitigala Amu at M-1 Challenge 53. The Kazakh is a hot bantamweight prospect who is equally comfortable on his feet or on the ground.
The winner of Vitruk vs. Morozov will advance to fight the victor from a soon-to-be announced second title eliminator for the vacant M-1 Challenge bantamweight title.

A native of Ukraine fighting out of St. Petersburg, Vitruk (12-2-0,
M-1: 6-2-0) is coming off back-to-back losses to American Lee
Morrison by decision at M-1 Challenge 55 and Max Coga by
third-round decision at M-1 Challenge 58. Representing the famed
Alexander Nevsky Club in St. Petersburg, Vitruk has a strong Muay
Thai foundation. After fighting exclusively as a featherweight,
Vitruk has decided to drop down one weight class and compete as a
bantamweight.
The 26-year-old Morozov (4-0-0, M-1: 2-0-0) is coming off a pair of impressive second-round stoppages via punches over Andy Young at M-1 Challenge 59 and Rijitigala Amu at M-1 Challenge 53. The Kazakh is a hot bantamweight prospect who is equally comfortable on his feet or on the ground.
