Dib vs Lacierva For Vacant IBF Featherweight Title, 7/29

By Edward Chaykovsky

Featherweight contender Billy Dib (31-1, 19KOs) finally has a chance to redeem his career after suffering a loss to then WBO champion Steven Luevano in 2008. He rebuilt his career with eleven straight wins. Now he finds himself in another title opportunity. On July 29th at the Olympic Park Sports Centre in New South Wales, Australia, Dib will face tough veteran Jorge Lacierva (39-7-6KOs) for the vacant IBF featherweight title. If he wins, Dib can put himself in line for some very big fights in one of the most talent rich divisions in boxing.
