Nikita Zon is a Russian professional boxer who currently competes in the super middleweight division.
Zons best win of his pro career to date was against fellow Russian dangerman Artysh Lopsan. Lopsan came out firing early on almost knocking down Zon in the second round. As the fight progressed Zon adapted to Lopsans style and landed the fight ending punch in the fifth, dropping Lopsan who failed to beat the count.[1] Zon avenged the only blemish of his career by stopping unbeaten Uzbek Odiljon Aslonov in the sixth round. With the win Zon picked up his first pro belt, the WBA Asia Central Super Middleweight title[2]
International Boxing Association career
Despite being unbeaten in the pro ranks Zon has suffered two defeats in International Boxing Association fights which is a mix of amateur and pro fighters. One of these defeats was against Cuban amateur Arlen Lopez. Despite Zon being the busier fighter, Lopez was on the front foot and looked the stronger man. Zon had success in the seventh and eight rounds Lopez sealed the deal, knocking down Zon three times in the ninth round and then into the ropes near the end of the tenth round forcing the referee to jump in[3]
