    I'm pretty sure he used to be highly ranked with the WBO.

    Also has a win over former EBU feather champ yefimovych early in his career.

    Seen worse opponents for a minor belt - not world class but looks decent enough on PAPER.

    He is.

    If you're targeting a fight for the WBO title why not fight for one of their trinkets rather than the IBO?

    i wouldnt mind mate to be honest , all top lads , the ibo have made this fight we wanted arthur but he refused and ibo said he wasnt credited enough we also tried for 3 others from abroad and ibo refused them steve forbes being one , so i no am in with a good fighter former olympian 22 wins 11 kos , so should be a great fight and even better being 5 mins from were i grew up

    Your right my mistake :patsch

    Fair enough then mate i'm a big fan of yours and if this gives you a top 10 ranking with the WBO then it would give you a decent bit of bargaining clout.

    I see what you are trying to do IF Burns/Mitchell wins the WBO one way or other you are a logical defence.

    Where is this fight going to be held Olympia I will probably go :good
