According to Russian promoter Vladimir Hryunov, he already initiated the negotiations process to discuss the possibility of matching former two-division champion Ricardo Mayorga (29-8-1, 23 KOs) against WBA interim-middleweight beltholder Chudinov (12-0-2, 8 KOs). Hryunov wants to stage the fight on a date in April in Moscow, Russia. Mayorga has not been seen in a boxing ring since giving a tough fight to Miguel Cotto in March of 2011. Cotto stopped him in the twelfth round. Mayorga then began a career in Mixed Martial Arts and went 0-3-1 before walking away from MMA a few weeks ago.
