WBA super middleweight champion Fedor Chudinov (14-0, 10KOs) will make the second defense of his world title in late February. He did not give the name of the opponent.
He returns from a banner year. He traveled to Germany in May to win an upset twelve round split decision over veteran Felix Sturm to capture the vacant WBA world championship.
Chudinov hit the road again in September, by heading to London to beat up Frank Buglioni over twelve rounds for a decision win.
For unknown reasons, the WBA ordered Chudinov to face Sturm in a mandatory rematch.
Some rumors suggest the rematch will happen on February 23rd.
"I've already started training, " Chudinov said. "I hope to enter the ring at the end of February. I'm unable to provide any additional information. My manager has not agreed with the opponent [and has not finalized] where I'm going to fight and when it's going to happen."
