Bellator heavyweight contender Sergey Kharitonov made his boxing debut on September 11 in Khimki, Russia. The 40-year-old made a big impression after walking out with a bear before knocking out Danny Williams. The live broadcast showed the bear being pulled by two handlers out to a platform inside the arena. Kharitonov took on Williams, who is known for defeating Mike Tyson by knockout in the year 2004. 

Kharitonov leaves a strong impression

According to Talksport, Kharitonov has fought under promotions such as Bellator, M-1, GLORY, PRIDE and Strikeforce in his career previously. Kharitonov showcased the sort of punch power that has established him as a dangerous heavyweight contender in Bellator's heavyweight division. After knocking down Williams, there was a lot of confidence on Kharitonov’s face as he started putting his combinations together. Williams then punched him but he seemed to be completely unaffected.
