Junior welterweight contender Karim Mayfield still has titlist Khabib Allakhverdiev in his sights, but for now, his focus is on a possible Sept. 7 clash with veteran Pavel Miranda.
“We never look past anybody, but we do look through them,” Mayfield told BoxingScene.com/CSNBayArea.com last Saturday at local fighter Bruno Escalante's public workout. “I’m training like I’m getting ready to fight [Floyd] Mayweather. I never look past anybody regardless if he have losses or whatever, but with that being said, yeah, we’re going after [Allakhverdiev].”
The fight would take place on the Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.–Brian Vera undercard, which is being slated for Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Mayfield (17-0-1, 10 KOs), from San Francisco, Calif., inked a multiyear deal with Top Rank in June after defeating Mauricio Herrera last October on HBO.
