    According to secondsout.com the Limond-Salita fight has been confirmed.

    OPPONENT NAMED FOR SALITA

    Jerry Glick reporting: Former Commonwealth champion Willie Limond will face undefeated Dmitriy Salita on the undercard of Roy Jones vs. Joe Calzaghe at Madison Square Garden, New York on September 20, 2008.

    This will be Salita’s first bout under the Square Ring banner. Salita recently signed a three-fight deal with Jones’ promotional company.

    “I am very excited to be on this card,” said Salita. “And I will put on a sensational performance. This is a great opportunity; Limond is a tough customer but I will be in great shape and put on a show for the fans in New York and around the world.”

    Salita 28-0-1 (16) had hoped for a title shot but it did not materialize. WBA junior welterweight world champion Andreas Kotelnik did not take up Salita’s challenge.

    Salita is nevertheless looking forward to Limond 29-2 (8) with confidence.

    “I will knock him out,” added Salita. "He will challenge me which will make me put on a great performance. I can’t wait!"

    & it has to be said, I bet Hattons influence was a major factor in Limond taking the fight, I have to give credit where its due.

    Serious chance for Limond to make a name for himself now, and he's more than capable of doing it against Salita .

    Calzaghe v Jones just became a whole lot more interesting for me .
