The World Boxing Super Series cruiserweight semifinal between Mairis Briedis of Latvia and Krzysztof Glowacki of Poland will take place on June 15 in Riga, Latvia, live on DAZN. The WBO and vacant WBC world cruiserweight titles will also be on the line, with the winner securing a place in the final to face either Yunier Dorticos or Andrew Tabiti, who also fight on the same card.
Briedis, who suffered defeat at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk in the WBSS last season, will be looking to go one step further this time when he faces the extremely dangerous Glowacki.
"I can't wait for the opportunity to get to the final," Briedis said via a WBSS press release. "We are going to have another boxing celebration in Latvia that will be watched by the whole world and give me a second chance in front of my people to achieve what I missed the first season."
