By Ryan Burton

BoxingScene.com first reported that WBO #1 ranked challenger BJ Flores (28-1-1) will face #3 ranked Nuri Seferi (33-6) in a final WBO cruiserweight eliminator in Seferi's native Albania either on May 25th or June 1st. The winner will be the mandatory challenger to the winner of the Marco Huck-Ola Afolabi trilogy fight that takes place on May 11th.

Flores informed BoxingScene that he has enlisted the services of strength and conditioning coach Angel "Memo" Heredia. The controversial coach's first client in boxing was future hall of famer Juan Manuel Marquez, who scored a shocking knockout of Manny Pacquiao this past December. He has recently added Jean Pascal and Brandon Rios to his growing stable of fighters.
