Nicknamed
The Boa-constrictor, 23-year-old Chernikov (9-2, 4
Kos) captured the Inter-Continental crown last
October when he stopped experienced former WBF
world champion Karama Nyilawila in six rounds, and
is considered one of the most promising prospects
on the scene.
In his
most recent fight, this past January, he stayed
busy with a third round stoppage over Armenian
Zorayr Voskonyan in a non-title outing, and has
since been focusing on preparing for what will be
his young careers biggest opportunity to date.
