Vladyslav Sirenko Signs With Queensberry Promotions
Sirenko Eyes Big Fights
The Kiev native heavyweight is undefeated and will join a stable boasting some of the best heavyweights. Sirenko made his professional debut in 2017, defeating Emmanuel Mnengi by first-round KO. He fought Kostiantyn Dovbyshchenko at the end of 2020, winning by unanimous decision to win the WBC Asian title. Wins over Andrii Rudenko and Aleksandr Ustinov were followed by 2 years of inactivity due to injuries before returning this year to beat Deon Ronny Hale and Keith Barr.

Revealing his goals for the future: “My goal is to put my name in the history books of boxing and the only way I achieve that is being involved in and winning the big fights. The heavyweight division is back to being the focus of the boxing world and I plan on making a name for myself over the next few years,” said Sirenko.
