SIMEON `Candyman’ Hardy could be heading into the sweet life in the near future. Hardy is scheduled to match gloves with Vito Gasparyan of Armenia in a six-round contest to be held at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut on Friday, February 13. The fight is a part of ESPN 2015 Boxinco tournament and according to USA-based boxing promoter/manager Seon Bristol may be the catalyst to Hardy making a name in the USA. Bristol said that a win could earn Hardy much needed television exposure.

“If he can continue doing what he has done since he came here, then I think that the sky is the limit. I think that Hardy has been put against a tough opponent and a victory here could see things start moving in the right direction at a faster pace,” Bristol said.
A southpaw knockout specialist, Hardy has put to sleep all three opponents since moving to North America last year. Hardy is the World Boxing Council Caribbean Boxing Federation (CABOFE) welterweight champion but is moving up to the super welterweight division to tackle Gasparyan.
He is undefeated in 13 fights winning 10 of them by knockouts while the Armenian has 14 victories three defeats and five draws.
