BoxingScene.com first reported on Thursday that a deal was completed for a fight between WBO middleweight champion Andy Lee (34-2, 24KOs) and undefeated top contender Peter Quillin (31-0, 22KOs). The fight is likely going to take place on April 11th, as part of Al Haymon's 'Premier Boxing Champions' broadcast on NBC.
Quillin held the belt and made three successful defenses. He was then ordered to face Matt Korobov in a mandatory fight. He vacated the title to take care of some personal matters. Lee and Korobov were then ordered to fight for the vacant WBO crown - and last December in Las Vegas, Lee captured the title with a sixth round stoppage of Korobov.
