According to manager/promoter Vladimir Hryunov, he spoke to promoter Kalle Sauerland of Sauerland Event about the possibility of staging a co-promotion in late May in Sochi, where a heavyweight clash would take place between Denis Boytsov (35-1, 26KOs) and Alexander Ustinov (30-1, 21KOs).

Hryunov said: "Literally on Tuesday we talked to Kalle Sauerland. He will be my partner, we are going in the last week of May or first week of June to stage a great boxing show in Sochi. And he suggested a fight between Alexander Ustinov and Denis Boytsov."

"We exchanged business aspects. I think it's possible. And in Sochi the most unique sports infrastructure has been created. Formula One is in Sochi. I previously talked with Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. and Evander Holyfield, and Arthur Abraham, and have an idea to organize a race between boxing stars, and then hold a boxing show."
