The one could prove exciting. RingTV.com reports how a WBC cruiserweight elimination bout between former light heavyweight champ Sergey Kovalev and former WBC cruiserweight title challenger Thabiso Mchunu is in the works.
Ilunga Junior Makabu went through the wringer to hold onto his WBC world cruiserweight crown in a hotly contested victory in his rematch against bitter rival Thabiso ‘The Rock’ Mchunu.
Ilunga Makabu is still the WBC cruiserweight champion, this courtesy of a tough, close decision win over Thabiso Mchunu in their rematch.
Proving that you can go home again, Hall of Fame boxing promoter Don King returned to his native Buckeye state on Saturday night to host an outstanding slate of championship boxing at the sold-out W.D.
WBC cruiserweight champion Ilunga Makabu (29-2, 25 KOs) used his power advantage to pound out a 12 round split decision over mandatory challenger Thabiso Mchunu (23-6, 13 KOs) on Saturday night in their long-awaited rematch at the W.D.Packard
This Saturday night in Warren, Ohio, we may or may not get a good night of cruiserweight and heavyweight boxing. Legendary, love him or loathe him promoter Don King, in his “homecoming” show (maybe King’s very last show, who knows?)
Will Canelo Alvarez fight reigning WBC cruiserweight champ Ilunga Makabu next? Not if WBC #1 ranked cruiserweight Thabiso McHunu and his team have anything to do with it, he won’t.
