The lightly-regarded bridgerweight class will soon be able to boast four 'world' titlists - even though only two out of the four sanctioning bodies recognize it as a legitimate division - because on Saturday Russians Evengy Romanov, 19-1 (12 KOs) and Georgiy Yunovidov, 10-1 (6 KOs), meet for the WBA interim title in Ekaterinburg.

Romanov was last spotted in a boxing ring 17 months ago getting knocked out in two rounds by Zhaoxin Zhang. Yunovidoz is yet to contest a bout scheduled for more than 10 rounds.

 
The WBC classify South African Kevin Lerena as champion while 43-year old Polish veteran Krzysztof Wlodarczyk holds the interim title. Lerena makes another attempt to make it at heavyweight when he squares off against Lawrence Okolie July 19.
