    Erik Skoglund, Sean Monaghan, Enrico Kolling and Marcus Brown all turned the fight down. the IBF is wanting to put him in an eliminator for IBF #1 Beterbiev is at number 2 with number 1 vacant.

    What happened to Eastside Boxing? I liked that name.

    Beterbiev should fighter Sullivan and then be the next mandated challenger for all champions. This is the type of Undisputed Champion LHW needs a Crushin Russian Machine.

    Doesn't surprise me one bit. Whoever it will be, I favor him to win (by KO)

    IBF should just magically put Barrera in the top 2then BAM! There's your eliminator, although Barrera has turned down Beteribiev before. They should just get that Serbian kid who kicked Bronwe's ass but got robbed.

    There's been reports going back over a year that any opponent is looking for at least 500,000 to get into the ring with Artur.

    Seanie is already a shot fighter just after sparring with Artur and Browne took a besting off hot rob so he probably would be in fear for he's life facing Artur.

    No one will fight him, he will end up facing some low ranked guy to become.mandatory, ward will then drop the title instead of fighting him

    Sully B seems the obvious choice. He's really won me over purely on Twitter antics

    Who has he called out now? Lol I think this would be a fun fight until Barrera gets carted out on a stretcher.

    That's not a slight at Barrera either, I think everyone at 175 who fights Artur leaves on a stretcher

    He's been @'ing basically everyone and running fan polls. Could all be talk on his part but I like that sort of boxer-fan interaction.

    I think Artur ices him too, but he needs a good opponent soon and if Barrera is as keen as he suggests then this makes absolute sense to me

    The only ones i see are Sullivan Barrera, Marcus Browne and Radivoje Kalajdzic(had to copy-paste that ****)
    But in all likely hood, Beterbiev will end up fighting another obscure opponent.
    In all seriousness, can´t they even get him 8 round matches?
    Year after year, activity has proven to open up doors.
    Look at the likes of Yaegashi, Kiko Martinez, Chisora.
