ORLANDO, FL (December 12, 2024) – Undefeated heavyweight prospect, Gurgen Hovhannisyan (6-0, 6 KOs) will look to close out a stellar 2024 with a tough fight against Patrick Mailata (6-2, 3 KOs) on Friday, December 13, at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida. The 8-round bout will be televised live on DAZN as part of MVP’s *Most Valuable Prospects 10 series.

Co-promoted by Boxlab Promotions and TGB Promotions, Hovhannisyan has established himself as one of the most promising heavyweights in the sport. A native of Yerevan, Armenia, now residing in Los Angeles, Hovhannisyan trains under the guidance of Hall of Fame trainer Joe Goossen, a partnership that has propelled him to six consecutive knockout victories to start his career.

“This year has been incredible for my career,” said Hovhannisyan. “Fighting three times in 2024 has helped me grow as a fighter and gain valuable experience. I’m excited to finish the year strong and deliver another dominant performance.. Patrick Mailata is a tough opponent who has fought some solid competition. He’s a skilled fighter, but I’m confident in my ability to impose my will and showcase my power. Fans can expect an explosive fight.”

Gurgen Hovhannisyan is one of the biggest punchers in the heavyweight division,” stated Boxlab Promotions President Amaury Piedra. “ Every time he steps into the ring, he brings excitement and delivers devastating knockouts. We have big plans for his future, and I’m confident he’ll continue to impress as he climbs the ranks.”

“Training with Joe Goossen has been a game-changer for me,” concluded Hovhannisyan. “His experience, attention to detail, and knowledge of the sport are unmatched. Every day in the gym, I’m learning and improving. I feel like a more complete fighter under his guidance. A win on December 13 will solidify my place as one of the most dangerous prospects in the heavyweight division. It will open the door for bigger fights in 2025, and I’m ready to step up and show the world what I can do.”
