was Murat rejected as a possible opponent? Not that I care, just remember reading it was going to be him. I wanted Sullivan Barrera but I knew Yvon and Al wouldn't deal openly with Main Events

Murat wants to fight Beterbiev in the IBF eliminator, but won't be ready until 2016.

Wasn't it main events and Barrera who walked away because of "visa issues"

So why no talk of Stevenson vs Beiterbiev

We all know Stevenson vs Kovalev won't happen..why haven't we heard anything about Beiterbiev being an opponent in the near future? We all know they're trying to get Beiterbiev lined up as a mandatory for Kovalev so they can go to purse bits and try to force Main events to relinquish Krushers title...

Stevenson steady fighting bum after bum though...and Beiterbiev is right there...
