    Matchroom sports have said that the european heavweight title will be vacated by Sosnowski because of his world title shot and Audley will face Dimitrenko for the vacant title

    Dimitrenko was asked last night if he wants the fight so we will see if not matchromm say they will just continu down the list of euro rankings

    No harm it's just the headline made me think it was confirmed. The list goes:

    1. Dimitrenko
    2. Povetkin
    3. Valuev
    4. Adamek
    5. Italian guy who i've forgotten
    6. Sexton

    if dimitrenko turns it down none of the next 3 would take it

    i reckon audley could be in a very close fight with dimitrenko, wouldnt suprise me if they get vidoz again zzzzzzz!

    lets see audley in against valuev, would be entertaining

    I think Valuev would take this.

    Coming off a loss, would do decent numbers, winner gets a world title shot. Valuev needs something like this to get his seat at the table back. Otherwise he's frozen out.

    It would be the boringest fight in history though!

    But he was just offered 2.5 mil to fight Vitali for a belt. Why would he then take this?

    Vidoz is not an option as he is not in the top 10.

    I dont think valuev will take it the most relestic other than dimitrenko are sam sexton and michael sprott in the top then aswell as pianeta who i think holds a different european title

    Goes down to 15 with everyone having to be offered it in order. Might get sexton v audley. If dimitrenko and walls vianeta turn it down then he's in. None of the others would be interested.

    Is the kid that smashed Skelton ranked?

    I'd take him to KO Harrison.....

    Pianeta is decent though :think

    Isnt it strange how Harrison is only the 4th ranked Brit on the list but still gets a title shot.

    It's gonna come down to Dimitrenko, Pianeta, Sexton and Sprott. Maybe Valuev can be interested in this fight too.

    The date and venue may be changed if it's Valuev or Dimitrenko, those fighters make much more money in Germany.
