The ongoing saga of who will be IBF cruiserweight champion Tomasz Adamek's next opponent has nearly reached its end.
Sources close to the negotiations say that it will be Matt “Too Smooth” Godfrey who hails from Providence, Rhode Island and fights out of Jimmy Burchfield's CES stable. Godfrey, rated #9 by the IBF, has a record of 18-1, 10 knockouts with the only loss coming last year against the Czech Republic's Rudolf Kraj in a WBC title elimination fight.
Should the Adamek vs. Godfrey fight take place it will occur on July 10 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The final call should be made by Showtime execs by Wednesday.
