Main Events have informed BoxingScene that "in-depth" discussions have taken place with Team Klitschko for a potential meeting between undefeated heavyweight contender Calvin Brock, and IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. The bout would take place on November 11, in Madison Square Garden.
No contracts have been exchanged and talks are currently ongoing. Originally, Klitschko was planning to meet veteran Shannon Briggs, but instead chose to target newly crowned WBC champion Oleg Maskaev for a unification bout. Although Maskaev wanted the fight, he made it clear that would not be able to meet Klitschko on the proposed November 11 date due to numerous injuries stemming from his rematch with Hasim Rahman.
After learning that Shannon Briggs had signed with promoter Don King, Team Klitschko set their sights on Calvin Brock.
