Kazak cruiserweight contender Isa Akberbayev (16-0) is currently back home on what might be described as a paternal leave and a planned fight in London on September 21 fell through. Akberbayev´s next fight is set for October 31 in Hamburg. As for opponent matchmaker Mario Pokowietz says they are looking for former four division world champion Roy Jones Jr., but nothing is signed.
Jones, 46-years-old, is a very busy man these days, with fights scheduled against Billy Bailey on August 15th in Connecticut, Danny Santiago on August 29th, and then travels over to Liverpool in the UK to face Tony Moran on September 12th. Jones has won his last seven fights.
