According to Team Chakhkiev, their protégé and the recent cruiserweight world title challenger will take on Romanian journeyman / fringe contender Giulian Ilie in his comeback fight following a disappointing June setback against WBC champion Krzysztof Wlodarczyk.
The 30-year old Olympic heavyweight gold medalist in Beijing, with a record of 16-1, 12 KOs, as a pro, and his 36-year old counterpart are scheduled for a ten-rounder. Chakhkiev is rated #5 by the WBC and IBF, and #15 by the WBA. Ilie (20-6-2, 6 KOs) has previously scored several upset losses, has never been stopped and is 2-0 this year following two back-to-back losses in 2012. He seems to be a legitimate opponent for Chakhkiev and can test his confidence following the recent loss.
