Dillian Whyte - Kubrat Pulew on July 28 in London?

Negotations are underway on the fight between Dillian Whyt (23-1, 17 KO) and Kubrat Pulew (25-1, 13 KO). The duel can take place on July 28 at a gala organized in London.

Whyte and Pulew were assigned to the elimination fight for the title of world heavyweight IBF champion. On May 10, a tender will be held, which will select the organizer of this match, but boxers' promoters are sure that they will be able to reach an agreement earlier.

Whyte in his last performance effectively knocked out in the sixth round of Lucas Browne. Pulew has not boxed since last April, when he won points with Kevin Johnson.

 

So, apparently Sean Turner have big fight news coming up.

 

Amateur boxing's under-fire rulers handed over a crucial report on internal reforms to the IOC last month.

"This report shows some progress and a good will but still lacks execution and substance in some areas," IOC president Thomas Bach said.

"Our concerns on governance, financial and sporting integrity are continuing and we think that we now need to see actions," he added after a meeting of the IOC's executive committee in Lausanne. Therefore we retain our right to exclude boxing from Tokyo 2020."

"We want to see the refereeing system and the appointment of judges. We want to see this approved by international and independent expertise," Bach explained.

IOC gave AIBA an extension until July 11 to take further action and present additional information ahead of the next executive board meeting, scheduled for July 17-18.

P.S. Doubt boxing will be in next Olympics. Expect influx of amateur boxers in pro ranks.
