Less than fifty days ago, Julius Indongo was a completely unknown boxer from Namibia who travelled to Russia to challenge undefeated super lightweight champion Eduard Troyanovsky. Today he is a celebrated titleholder and a highly ranked fighter at the 140-pound division.
Despite the fact he only had one fight in 2016 which happened to be a clean unanimous decision loss, Viktor Postol (28-1, 12 KOs) is still one of the top dogs in the super lightweight division.
Presently, one of the most entertaining and exciting weight classes in boxing is the cruiserweight division. We had a perfect example of it a couple weeks ago when Murat Gassiev and Denis Lebedev had a war of attrition for the IBF world title. Gassiev won the close encounter and emerged as one of the new faces at the top of the category.
