Story on the scene says Denton will go to South Africa to fight Chris Van Heerden (http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=371022&cat=boxer) for the vacant IBO WW title. Why? Anyone even heard of this Saffer? It's a pointless risk to take with a meaningless bauble on the line.
It's not a bad fight to take, as long as he doesn't start calling himself a world champion if he wins.
I wouldn't hit the panic stations. Frans Botha and Corrie Sanders are probably the only decent white Saffers...ever. On sheer odds, this guy is probably a can.
Saw his last fight where he he got a ud against Mwelase (Mwelase's previously lost a sd against Lovemore Ndou). Heerden won a close fight using superior workrate, didnt stop for the 12 rounds. Heerden looks durable, can take a punch but does'nt seem to have 1 punch ko power! Not seen anything (only really followed boxing since I have been in SA) of Vassell to comment. Rodney Berman of Golden Gloves (SA Promoter) is trying to get a few British guys lined up against his boxers for this bill (he did try and get M Hatton but was too expensive). Am hoping this comes off as would like to see a few Brits over here being an expat.
allows you to challenge anybody, minimal fees and electronic rankings...and also big names old them. it's not prestigious but it a belt that can get you places. or not with jawaid khaliq
Dentons not fighting in africa, as he an his misses have just had their first baby boy!!!!! He's DEFO fighting on the watson v purdy rematch in oldham though!!!!!!
