BoxingScene.com was informed by more than one reliable source that undefeated heavyweight prospect Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson (27-0-1, 7KOs) has been offered the fight with David Haye (21-1, 20KOs) for November 15 at the O2 Arena in London.
Johnson fought last Friday in Atlantic City, picking apart former heavyweight champBruce Seldon before knocking him out in five-rounds. Haye unified the cruiserweight division with knockouts of Jean Marc Mormeck and Enzo Maccarinelli, and now plans to position himself for a potential fight with IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in 2009. Johnson's highest ranking is the number-seven position with the WBA.
As far as I was told, Johnson has yet to accept the fight, and there could be some issues with fighting Haye overseas without the television backing of an American network like HBO or Showtime.
