Evgeny Gradovich will travel to jolly old England for his next title defense. The unbeaten featherweight will face mandatory challenger Lee Selby, with the bout set for April 25 in London, England.

The two sides came to terms, thus avoiding the fight having to go to a purse bid hearing.

The fight was ordered by the International Boxing Federation (IBF), who recognizes Gradovich as its featherweight champion. [Click Here To Read More]

Interesting. Never seen a Selby fight but Garcia must like what he sees to take a career decision type fighter in Gradovich over there.

I SAID IT ONCE I'LL SAY IT TWICE

grado is a eurobum and its yet to be seen if selby is..if grado ever fight a power puncher he is going to die..he wants wars and has no power to back it up lol...selby should win this fight on boxing ability alone, but the fact that he's on a total bum diet it might backfire under pressure

Not a bad card but I fear this means Hearn is going to try and mug us off with PPV.

Well the IBF ordered it and probably saw more money going there than finding a suitable place in the States.

At least he's not dropping his title at the first site of a mandatory challenge

Never seen a Selby fight but I hope Gradovich don't get robbed. If Selby were to win hopefully its a convincing one..

[Foreign Soil]

True. Respect. Interesting fight. Your reporting is on point.

I heard Gradovich's manager or something say that they had no choice but to go to England.

I got Gradovich beating the Welsh Maywevah.
