Share:
Undefeated boxing champion and MightyTips ambassador Jevgenijs Aleksejevs is back in action this month with a highly anticipated fight against the experienced Argentine Marcelo German Rodriguez on 20th April 2024 at L'Alqueria del Basket in Valencia.
It represents the 16th fight of his career and a chance to add yet another stoppage to his name and a W to the column.
However, Rodriguez will not be a pushover. The 40 year old may not have youth on his side, but he has won his last two fights by TKO and packs a heavy punch.
Below we analyse his chances, remind you of his recent record, and take a look at what could be on the horizon for the man they call The Hurricane!
The Hurricane’s Recent Record
If Aleksejevs does get the job done against Rodriguez, it will not be the first time the Hurricane emerges victorious in Spain, and it won’t be the last either. The weekend before Christmas, he overcame Nicolas David 'Mazazo' Veron in a dominant display of striking and speed to claim a majority decision win on the scorecards at the Pabellon Municipal Sedavi in Valencia.
At the back end of last summer, his power punching and technical prowess came to the fore when scoring a third round stoppage over French challenger Dmitri Trenel on the Costa Del Sol.
With Jevgenijs Aleksejevs' to fight in Spain again - the question is if he can continue his impressive form on the Iberian Peninsula? It’s likely The Hurricane will be a heavy favourite among boxing betting sites, but you can be sure he won’t take anything for granted.
Humble, hard-working, and diligent, Aleksejevs has a reputation for being thorough in preparation.
That ethic was exemplified in his recent training camp with Welsh pro and former WBO interim light-middleweight and WBO middleweight title contender Liam Williams, which helped keep his skills sharp and fitness up to the level that was too much for Veron at Christmas.
