[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The highest world ranked middleweight contender under the World Boxing Council will finally return to action on September 19th in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Jorge Sebastian Heiland (25-4-2, 13 KOs), 28-years-old, will snap a ten month inactivity streak when he faces Claudio Abalos (29-13-3) in a stay-busy fight.

Heiland was last seen in the ring last November, when he knocked out Matthew Macklin in the tenth round of their battle for the WBC International title in Dublin, Ireland.

It's almost like this dude is sitting on the #1 ranking like he's just going to wait for that pay day to come. I really hope the WBC makes him fight an eliminator with Murata or someone like Korobov or N'Dam.

From what I heard, after signing with Gaby, Heiland believed his promoter didn't want him to fight and was offering low money. He had an August fight, but got cancelled.... this fight evidently under a different promoter... don't know the conditions it's under, but we'll see

You're saying Gaby is pulling a Don King/Gary Shaw promotion technique?

I'm saying that's what Heiland believes why he's getting blackballed.

Just yesterday BigJava poster was suggesting GGG was ducking this guy. laughable suggestion. He is the fighter of absolute last choice if no-one else is available - and not because he is such a beast.
