[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Caleb Truax and Cerresso Fort will fight on Sept. 21 at the Minneapolis Convention Center, Truax told BoxingScene.com, confirming a tweet from Tony Grygelko of Seconds Out Promotions.

The bout will be for the USBA’s vacant middleweight title; Truax is ranked sixth by the organization and Fort is ranked ninth.

Truax, a 29-year-old from Minnesota, is coming off a sixth-round technical knockout of Donovan George on the undercard to the June 21 episode of ESPN2’s “Friday Night Fights.” The win brought his record to 22-1-1 with 13 knockouts. The lone loss came against Jermain Taylor in April 2012, a unanimous decision defeat that saw Truax put Taylor on the canvas in the ninth round.

I'm told that another opponent had been in the works, but that pairing didn't come together.

Two Minnesota guys against each other in Minnesota. Hope they attract a crowd.

Wasn't Truax tossed around for Ward?

I haven't confirmed myself that Ward was putting Truax out there as a possible opponent, but both Steve Kim and Dan Rafael either spoke to the same source or to different sources that confirmed it.

It's sad that you guys reject Lopez

Well is sad to heard that the other one back off, because David Lopez agree to fight Caleb, but Caleb like to fight mediocre guys David Lopez is been waiting for the contract, why are you guys scare.

Oh wow... so he was the guy HBO didn't want.
I wonder how much Ward wanted for this fight if this was indeed what he was targeting.
Well, good for Truax, wish it was Adama though. Hopefully it'll happen later this year
