    Rumors of Andre Dirrell's next fight?

    Does anyone know anything? I haven't heard anything since the Oganov fight.

    I haven't heard anything, he should be in line to fight Balszay for the title though.

        I want to see him fight Ward but I doubt it'll happen, would be a great fight if it does though.

          I'd like to see him against Jean Pascal

            I emailed him and he emailed me back saying his next fight would be for the WBO belt and it would be on HBO.

              That would be Balzsay, should be a pretty interesting fight, Balzsay is a pretty good fighter technically, would he be willing to go to Europe for the fight though? Because I doubt Balzsay will fight him in the US.

                I wasn't clear on that and he didn't specify but said he would email me the details when it was finalized.

                I would assume he wouldnt have any problem going to Europe for the fight but I wouldn't rule out Balzsay coming to the states either just because guys like Erdei choose not to do so.

                Kinda sucks, I am a Balzsay fan because I am Hungarian myself and I am also a huge Dirrell fan. I played football in college with his cousin and met him when he was an up and coming amateur.

                  I'm sure he's willing to go to Europe to fight but I'm not sure if his promoter is willing to let him take that risk, I'm just saying I don't think Balzsay will stick out by going to the US to fight unless there's huge money for him, which Dirrell doesn't bring, I hope it happens though because it would be a very interesting fight.

                  That's cool, must be tough for you to choose between them.

                    Glad to see title is in his grasp. Now we need the other top young talents to pursue the other belts and force those foreign "frauds"(until proven otherwise) out of the way. SMW is loaded with young gunz! I c HBO is taking notice.
