Requiring three more wins from the next five matches, the Indian franchise will meet Baku Fires in Baku, Azerbaijan on March 10th in the away leg of their quarterfinals. After securing a 3-2 at home in the first quarterfinal in Mumbai last week, Fighters will have to win the away leg with a similar margin or more to qualify for the semifinals.<\/p>\n<p>In eventuality of tie, i.e. if Baku Fires win 3-2, there will be a sudden death bout in the Light Heavyweight category. Jasveer Singh will represent the Venky\u2019s Mumbai Fighters taking on Teymur Mammadov from Baku. Teymur, a silver medalist at 2011 World Championships, will be making his WSB debut if he has to fight.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Clough, Technical Director, Venky\u2019s Mumbai Fighters said, \u201cWe are not worried about the sudden death bout. It is important that we take one bout at a time.\u201d After upsetting the firebrand team from Azerbaijan in the home leg, it isn\u2019t surprising that Fighters are determined to repeat their feat in their away match too.<\/p>\n<p>Ukranian Ivan Ilnytskyy will open the match for Venky\u2019s Mumbai Fighters in Bantamweight category against Magomed Kurbanov. Magomed has fought only once this season and come out victorious.<\/p>\n<p>In Lightweight category, India\u2019s Diwakar Prasad will face Isa Isayev. Diwakar made a winning debut against Milano Thunder in the opening match but was handed technical knockouts (TKOs) twice in his next two bouts this season. On the other hand, Isa is making his WSB debut.<br \/>Konstantin Snigour, Fighters\u2019 middleweight pugilist, has fought twice and won both. He will face Heybulla Mursalov who has won five out of six bouts this season, including two TKOs.<\/p>\n<p>In the Light Heavyweight category, Leanid Charnabayeu will represent Venky\u2019s Mumbai Fighters taking on Ramazan Magomedau.
