[JakeNDaBox]

Mateusz ''The Master'' Masternak (32-1, 23 KOs) will face the hard-hitting Ilunga ''Junior'' Makabu (16-1, 15 KOs) for the interim WBA World Cruiserweight title on June 21st at The Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco.

The cruiserweight clash is part of a triple-header promoted by Rodney Berman’s Golden Gloves, which will also feature British middleweight star Martin Murray and WBA & IBO Minimumweight Champion Hekkie Budler.

“I will do everything I can to win, as opportunities like this don’t come around every day,’’ said Masternak. “Makabu is a tough boxer with a strong punch and solid technique but there are no easy fights at this level. I am 100% focused and will make sure I am in the best shape of my career.

“Makabu may hit hard, but he is no Mike Tyson. My coach Piotr Wilczewski and I have already worked out a good strategy. I will know exactly what I need to do, round by round, in order to win and bring the title back to Poland with me.’’ [Click Here To Read More]

This is a very good fight. Its a shame it will go under the radar seeing its two lesser known cruiserweights but this is a fight that guarantees fireworks.

Speed, skills, power & two top 'prospects' putting it on the line.
I look forward to this one in a year of horrible mismatches.

Oh damn, looks like it's happening.

Murray should be back on this card too

So Masternak gets KO'd by Drozd in his last meaningful fight and he is getting an interim title shot? He's fun to watch and all, but when is the WINNER of that fight getting a shot?

Drozd is in talks with Wlodarczyk for a WBC title shot.
