By Kamel Messani

Team Ali Chebah, represented by Don Majeski, put in the winning purse bid for the WBC light welterweight final eliminator between Ali Chebah (33-1, 26 KOs) of France and Alose Olsegun (28-0, 14 KO) of Nigeria.

Team Chebah came first with a bid of $112,000 thousand dollars. There will be a 50-50 split on the money and the fight will most probably take place in late September or early October - in France or in Algeria. The winner of the elimination bout will face the unified champion of the WBC and IBF, Devon Alexander.
