ESPN will air the first ever boxing event held at the brand-new Ocean Resort Casino, a state of the art resort property set to open June 28 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The card will be held on Saturday, Aug. 18, and will be headlined by a main event matchup between Bryant Jennings (23-2, 13 KO’s) and Alexander "Sascha" Dimitrenko (41-3, 26 KO’s) for the WBO international heavyweight title. The undercard will stream on ESPN+ starting at 7 p.m. ET, with the main card airing live on ESPN starting at 10.
Hailing from Philadelphia, the 33-year-old Jennings is on a four-fight win streak following back to back losses to Luis "King Kong" Ortiz and Wladimir Klitschko, with three of those wins coming via stoppage.
