The next return of light heavyweight contender Ismayl Sillakh (17-1, 14KOs) is likely off. He was scheduled to fight undefeated prospect Dmitry Kudryashov (5-0, 5KOs) on October 13th at the Galich Hall in Krasnodar, Russia. It would be Sillakh's first ring appearance since the shocking TKO defeat to Denis Grachev in April.
According to sources with knowledge of the details, Sillakh's return has hit a brick wall over an internal dispute. The boxer is reportedly attempting to break away from his longtime manager Ivaylo Gotzev.
In a recent interview, Sillakh said "regarding my manager Ivaylo Gotzev....from the beginning of my pro career, and during the present, only one word could be associated with him - liar!"
