Ruslan Provodnikov (23-3)
One of the more exciting fighters in the world of boxing over the last year has been Ruslan Provodnikov. From his classic fight in 2013 against Timothy Bradley and a few months later winning his first ever WBO Light Welterweight title – Ruslan’s short career has been very intriguing. Although he lost the belt over the summer to Chris Algieri, many believe he’s still an elite fighter in the world of boxing. It’s just unfortunate he caught two fellow Junior Middleweights during peak performances, but his future is still in-tact after 17 knockouts of 23 victories and 3 losses.
The 30-year-old native of Russia has been giving much praise from both Manny Pacquiao and Freddie Roach; but will need a few more major victories before he becomes a household name. Luckily for him, he’s got the undefeated streak claim out of his way to take off pressure heading forward.
