Beterbiev-Mikhalkin Now in Play For IBF Eliminator
Posted by: Per Ake Persson on 10/12/2015 .
By Per Ake Persson
According to a press release from EC Boxing, current EBU light heavyweight champion Igor Mikhalkin (17-1) have been accepted by the International Boxing Federation as challenger for an IBF eliminator against Artur Beterbiev (9-0).
Beterbiev returns on November 28th in Quebec as part of a Showtime tripleheader. The event will be headlined by James DeGale defending his IBF super middleweight title against Canadian star Lucian Bute.
Mikhalkin defended the title against Hugo Kasperski this past weekend but is ready to go again and EC Boxing expect the fight vs Beterbiev to go ahead before 2015 ends.
Previously, Mikhalkin´s stablemate Karo Murat had been mentioned as the opponent for Beterbiev, but he is still not fit for a fight of this magnitude after an injury.
Mikhalkin will have to give up the EBU title and here we might see Karo Murat enter the stage. There is currently no official challenger after Oleksandr Cherviak lost to Erik Skoglund in September.
Beterbiev-Mikhalkin Now in Play For IBF Eliminator
@mr. smoke weed have we ever seen 1 fighter get ducked by so many potential opponents even when the stipulation is "if you beat him, you get an automatic title shot"?
Exit Murat and enter Mikhalkin (whoever the hell that is)
Beterbeast is the NEW most avoided man in Boxing right now

Good fight for both of em
Maidana coming off a long lay off and K9 looking to bounce back from the Charlo loss
marcos destroy this ole barking bum in 5 secs.

Yes Maidana beats him, but it's a good fight for Maidana, being he's been inactive over a year now already (and wont be back until sometime in 2016 which = even more ring rust), has to get back into Boxing shape, and needs some good work in the ring.
Maidana could face a 19-8-2 journeyman type of bum in return, but instead is opting for the former Champion at Junior Middleweight...a class he's never fought in.
That's a good fight for him imo, and in K9's case, Maidana is still a good opponent for him. I think it's a win/win matchup considering where they both are in their careers.

Khan Open To Danny Garcia in December, Then Pacquiao

Amir Khan (31-3, 19KOs) is hungry to face Manny Pacquiao in a high profile fight, but he also wants to get revenge on Danny Garcia (31-0, 18KOs) for a 2012 knockout loss.
Khan fought Garcia in a WBC/WBA junior welterweight unification bout at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. After winning two and a half round of the fight, Garcia caught him cold with a big hook at the end of the third round and Khan never recovered. Two more knockdowns and the fight was stopped in the fourth.
The fight would seem like a natural rematch to make. Both fighters are with manager Al Hyamon, both fight on the Premier Boxing Champions platform and both are now competing at the welterweight limit.
If Khan had his way, he'd like to face Garcia on a date in December and then move forward with a Pacquiao fight in the first half of 2016, and then fight IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook in a huge domestic encounter.
“If we’re able to make it happen so that I get a rematch with Danny Garcia in December, Manny Pacquiao in May and then Kell Brook late next year in Wembley, that would be absolutely amazing," Khan told Yahoo Sports.
“Not only that but if we can line up those three fights and I can emerge victorious from them all, that would put me very high in the pound-for-pound rankings, especially now Floyd Mayweather says he is done.”
If he's able to pull the first two off, in the order, and win - he predicts a showdown with Brook would be as big as the Carl Froch vs. George Groves rematch, which drew a record crowd of 80,000 fans to Wembley.
“If Brook has a few more top fights between now and late 2016, and I’m able to get Garcia and Pacquiao, I really think Kell and I could follow in the footsteps of Froch-Groves II and sell out Wembley Stadium," Khan said.
“That would be massive, so I know Brook v Khan is something boxing fans want, and we really feel it will work for next year when it’s the biggest fight it possibly can be. We both know it’s a huge British fight that can happen in Britain, and it will be massive for both of us, when the time is right.”

Khan aint trying to hear all that Swift vs Ghost/Maidana talk.....he wants Swift in December
Somebody needs to tell BATB that no one is looking for a rubber match for a fight series where the majority of the world knows he has never won a fight.
