Former light heavyweight titlist Gabriel Campillo will face Sergey Kovalev in a dangerous crossroads bout on September 21, multiple sources have confirmed Boxingscene.com.
The bout will headline the next edition of the rapidly growing NBC Sports Fight Night series, which was recently given a two-year extension.
“Campillo has arguably beaten two world champions and the number one contender without receiving the decisions,” said Kathy Duva of Main Events. “A win for Campillo (against Kovalev) would put him right back into the title picture.”
One of the bouts referenced in the robbery claims by Duva was Campillo’s most recent ring appearance, landing on the wrong side of a highly questionable points loss to unbeaten Tavoris Cloud this past February on Showtime.
