Jennings, Hart and Stevenson headline this weekend in AC.


This weekend at the Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City, Top Rank bring us a triple header featuring some of Philadelphia’s finest.. Bryant Jennings 23-2 takes on Germany’s former world ranked Alex Dimitrenko 41-3 over 12 rounds at heavyweight.. Jennings is coming off a points win over Joey Dawejko, having only lost back in 2015 with back to back defeats at the hands of Luis Ortiz and Wladimir Klitschko.. Dimitrenko is coming off a victory over Miljan Ravcanin on paper, a fight which Dimitrenko originally lost and was then announced as a draw, until the German federation pulled a shady ruling that Ravcanin was deducted points on three separate occasions.. Dimitrenko had previously lost to Kubrat Pulev, Eddie Chambers and Jo Parker.. 

 Also featuring is Jesse Hart, defending his NABF super middleweight title in his third fight back following his WBO title challenge defeat to Gilberto Ramirez.. Hart 24-1 takes on Mike Gavronski 24-2-1.. The Tacoma native last boxed a NC against tough Andrew Hernandez last November in a bout he’d originally appeared to win via 8th round Tko..

Also as a feature attraction Newark’s 7-0 former amateur standout Shakur Stevenson takes a step closer to title contention as he takes on 16-4-2 Carlos Ruiz in a featherweight 8 rounder.. The 21 year old Stevenson was the Bantamweight silver medalist at the 2016 Rio Olympics and is highly touted as a future champion..

The evenings boxing will be televised by USA ESPN and is a Top Rank promotion.. Matchmakers, Brad Goodman and J Russell Peltz..
