UFC star Tyson Pedro will make a very ambitious professional boxing debut,  facing Australian heavyweight champion Kris Terzievski in a bridgerweight clash at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, on June 12th. Pedro has fifteen fights in the UFC, winning ten with five wins by KO and five losses. Prior to this, he fought as an amateur in boxing, winning all five of his fights including a title in New South Wales. He has been training and sparring with the world's top cruiserweight, Jai Opetaia, in a steep learning curve preparing for this fight. Terzievski, a southpaw, is 12-1-2 with 9 KOs. His only loss is to Faiga Opelu and Terzievski will be moving down to the 224-pound division for this bout.
