There are a lot easier ways for Ivan Redkach and Argenis Mendez to find their way to a televised bout these days. Neither are interested in the easy road, however, as they see each other as the perfect springboard to return to title contention.
Ivan Redkach has been referred to as a “Mexican Ukrainian” because of his aggressive style in the ring, and the slugging southpaw has even worn trunks bearing the colors of the Mexican flag in more than one fight.
