In March 2026, boxers of BFL PRO entered the ring twice. First on March 21 in Lviv as part of a boxing night by Top Boxing Generation and Lemberg Promotions, and then on March 28 in Vinnytsia as part of Punch Promotions' debut event.
Lviv. 5 wins, debuts of Romanov and Nizhenskyi under the league banner
On March 21 in Lviv, five fighters entered the ring. The card was opened by Serhii Sorokin, a serviceman of the Artan special unit of the Main Intelligence Directorate, who debuted in professional boxing and earned a quick win over Oleksandr Yakymenko (0-2) as the opponent's corner stopped the fight after round one.
Then Pavlo Romanov (6-0, 1 KO) and Maksym Nizhenskyi (7-0, 6 KO) made their debuts under the league banner, after their signings were announced at the beginning of 2026.
Romanov had the first 6-round fight of his career, defeating experienced Taras Holovashchenko (8-22-1, 3 KO) by unanimous decision: 60-54, 59-55, 58-56.
Nizhenskyi finished early as well - in the second round he knocked out previously undefeated Bohdan Rudyi (2-1).
Fighters coached by legendary Viacheslav Senchenko also fought. Maksym Zhyharov (3-0, 2 KO) had his first international professional boxing fight and defeated Romania's Alexandru Ionita (7-44-1, 5 KO) by unanimous decision.
Illia Shtyl (4-0, 3 KO) met Ukrainian fighter Kostiantyn Stadnik, who at the time had a 9-9-2, 5 KO record and a four-fight win streak. Illia dominated throughout and was close to scoring a knockdown, but Stadnik's corner refused to continue after round two.
Vinnytsia. 6 wins, only one by judges' decision
On March 28 in Vinnytsia, six fighters connected to BFL PRO entered the ring.
Cruiserweight fighter Fedir Tkachenko (4-0, 3 KO) faced debutant Oleksii Havryliuk, who accepted the bout on short notice and has extensive experience in KLAN FC bare-knuckle fights with a 7-6, 6 KO record. Tkachenko dominated and forced the opponent's corner to surrender after round two.
Ihor Rozumovych (3-0, 3 KO) continued his streak of first-round stoppage wins. This time he won with literally his first punch against Oleksandr Yakymenko (0-3). The 24-year-old heavyweight is currently repeating his bare-knuckle path, where he also won three debut fights in the first round.
Ihor Semonchuk (11-2, 9 KO) from Uman had his second fight under BFL PRO. He returned after a loss to Oleksii Kozelko in a bout for the Ukrainian title in December 2025. The WBC Grand Prix participant knocked out Maksym Reshetniak (1-2, 1 KO) in round two.
Sviatoslav Kashchei (2-0, 1 KO), whom fans had already seen at BFL events in Kyiv in December 2025, also fought. This time he knocked out Oleksandr Riabokon (0-5) in round one.
Professional boxing debuts were also made by Oleksandr Mahamiedov and Oleksandr Yarovyi. Mahamiedov won after Kostiantyn Dzhus' corner retired after round two, while Yarovyi won by unanimous decision over Ruslan Rustamov. Both athletes are currently under review by the promotion company.
