Ilja Dragunov defends United States Title against Tommaso Ciampa
Tommaso Ciampa will finally get his chance to face Ilja Dragunov for the United States Title.
Dragunov has been rebuking Ciampa, stating that he will not defend the title against “jackasses.”
Last week, The Mad Dragon successfully retained his title against Carmelo Hayes, albeit with some unwanted help from Ciampa.
This upset the United States Champion, who finally relented and gave Ciampa his match for the title.
After months of being denied, can Ciampa dethrone Dragunov?
