about

Talented Brooklyn native Nikita Ababiy has shown he’s capable of converting his amateur success into professional glory.

Known as ‘White Chocolate’, the former Team USA member and Junior Golden Gloves champion was one of Eddie Hearn’s first signings in America and made his pro debut on October 6 in Matchroom and DAZN’s first event on US soil in Chicago.

Ababiy boxed seven times in his first year in the paid ranks, including a trip to London to fight at The O2, while his eighth bout was significant, coming in LA on the undercard of the clash of YouTube sensations KSI and Logan Paul – with Ababiy also keen to be a hit on social media as well as in the ring.
