Thomas, 15-1 (10 KOs), is unbeaten in his past three fights after suffering his first career defeat, to Roy King in 2019. Thomas, a 27-year-old from Beachwood, New Jersey, ended a five-year hiatus from the sport in February, fighting to a draw with Dominique Mayfield. Before that, he hadn’t fought since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Thomas has never been stopped, and Hovhannisyan has seen the final bell only once in his career.
