A fight between light-heavyweight contenders Artur Beterbiev and Enrico Kolling is looking likely to be cancelled, due to Beterbiev’s promoters GYM not organizing the fight and being unwilling to announce a date and venue of the eliminator.
The pair were looking to finalize a deal to compete for a IBF final eliminator bout which was in play for a date at the end of July. No date or venue were confirmed, but locations such as Quebec and Montreal in Canada and New York were touted.
Per the IBF rules, the fight had to take place before the beginning of August, and with just over three weeks until the proposed date, the fight is in limbo.
Over the weekend, both Artur Beterbiev and Enrico Kolling updated Boxing News Today on the current situation of their fight. Beterbiev had signed a contract for the fight already, however Kolling had not received or signed a contract to make the fight official.
The collapse of the fight has come in the middle of Beterbiev’s ongoing promotional battle with Yvon Michel’s GYM. The 32-year-old is looking to terminate his contract with them due to GYM not respecting their contractual obligations to him.
GYM put Artur Beterbiev in a situation in which he had to sign the contract for the eliminator, because if he had refused to do so, he would have been disqualified by the IBF for refusing the bout against Kolling. And Beterbiev signed the contract several hours before the deadline.
”There comes a point where a person needs to take a stand and says enough is enough. This is not a hobby for me, it’s my career. It’s how I feed my family and ensure the future of my children. I came to a point where I felt I had no choice but to take action in order to protect my rights. No fighter’s career is eternal,” stated Beterbiev.
Despite the promotional issues going on outside of the ring, Beterbiev said he was confident that everything would remain in place for his scheduled return against Kolling.
”I have a duly signed agreement for an IBF eliminator fight in July and I expect everyone to live up to their contractual obligations.”
”I’m hard at work in preparing for the fight in order to ensure that I show up in peak physical condition. My sole focus is on the challenge that a fight with Kolling poses. He’s a world caliber fighter and it is imperative that my preparation be optimal. I’m following Mark Ramsay’s directions to ensure a successful camp.”
Many people had been questioning why there had not been an official announcement for the fight. In an exclusive interview with Enrico Kolling, who has only lost one of his 24 fights revealed unlike Beterbiev he hasn’t signed a contract to fight just yet, but is training to prepare for the fight and has been told there are plans in place for a date and location.
”I have not signed a fight contract yet, everything has been verbal. According to the plans, the fight will take place on July 29 in Montreal, Canada. I hope this works out as I am preparing for this date,” revealed Kolling.
”I am excited and looking forward to boxing a strong man to decide who is ready for a world championship. I think a lot of Beterbiev and I know I am the underdog but I want to use all opportunities to get to the top. I think that I am just as long in the ring as he and I also have a lot of experience although I am younger.”

The axe murderer
For I am death and I ride on a pale horse
Nah Kudryashov the hardest hitter imo. Unfortunately he doesn't go the distance. Gassiev is way more skilled though and an effective pressure fighter (Abel Sanchez is good at coaching that). Kudryashov abandons his skills at times and swings like captain caveman so he is susceptible to gettin caught himself.

i know the pbc website has full fights sometimes and if you have a HBO or HBO go subscription you can view HBO's archive of fights
I haven't seen the fight yet so I can't comment fully. But, from what I've read, it was a swing fight (115-113, 116-112) type of fight. Manny said it himself they're looking for a new cash cow. Manny should have known he was going to have uphill as soon as the fight was reported in Australia. Dead giveaway he was gonna lose if he went out on his feet.
