    Well, this will be a replacement for Kauffman/Mansour fight obviously.

    Former world champion light heavyweight Antonio Tarver (31-6-1, 22 KOs) revealed that should soon be announced his next professional fight.

    48-year-old American would have to cross gloves with Gerald Washington (18-0-1, 12 KOs). The duel would take place on February 25 at the gala Premier Boxing Champions in Birmingham, where Andrew Wawrzyk will be boxing world champion WBC heavyweight Deontay Wilder.

    Washington last boxed in July, knocking in the fourth round Ray Austin. Tarver is not boxed since August 2015, when it drew with Steve Cunningham

    Yeah I saw. Not surprising, Graham is out of his element, has seen better days and was in against a top prospect. That aside guy has integrity and NEVER would show up in anywhere near that kind of shape. :lol:

    I wonder how far off Zhilei Zhang is from getting a WBO (or another) ranking?

    At some point he could be a good $$ title defense option with the fight in China. If it was on the north east coast or Beijing I'd consider going if I could get a few days off work.

    At some point in time there's going to be a HW fight in China that generates a lot of local mainstream press and catches the attention of people there.

    Kubrat Pulev announced he will fight once or twice before getting a tittle shot in the end of the year. He is about to start his training camp and fight probably in early April. According to Pulev, the winner of Joshua/Klitschko has to face him. Since there are rumours that the winner has to face Ortiz , I would enjoy Pulev vs Ortiz on the undercard of the clash in Wembley.
