The “Siberian Rocky” Ruslan Provodnikov will kick off fight week for his title defense at Barclays Center with a fan appearance, this Sunday, June 8, at the Nets Shop by Adidas at Coney Island located at 3015 Stillwell Ave. between Surf Ave. and the Boardwalk, across the street from the original Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog stand and next to the historic Wonder Wheel.
Provdnikov will be meeting and greeting his fans from 1:00 to 2:00 P.M.
There’s a lot of fight fans in New York already, with the Miguel Cotto vs. Sergio Martinez HBO pay-per-view on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. So for those who are still around, and aren’t going to Sunday’s Puerto Rican Day parade, there’s an opportunity to say hello to Provodnikov, one of the most exciting fighters in the sport today.
Provodnikov defends his world title against undefeated scholar-brawler Chis Algieri of Long Island, Saturday, June 14, at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. The fight will be televised live on HBO Boxing After Dark.
