Comments Thread For: IBF: If Nobody Agrees, Beterbiev Will Face Ward-Kovalev Winner

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The International Boxing Federation has confirmed that light heavyweight contender Artur Beterbiev (11-0, 11 KOs) is about to become the mandatory challenger to IBF world champion Andre Ward (31-0, 15 KOs). BoxingScene.com reported on Tuesday that Beterbiev was about to get the mandatory position, by default, because of the boxer's tough task in securing an opponent for a final eliminator.

Lost all respect for Barerra! How does a Cuban back out of a major fight, which was to take place IN MIAMI! I hope we get Beterbiev vs. Browne while waiting for the Ward vs. Kovalev rematch! On another note, where is Joe Smith Jr.?

Beterbiev vs Kovalev would be a war.
The blood thirsty ghoul in me thinks this could be a Foty type of match.

Disappointing. Berterbiev better be patient because him against the Ward-Kovalev winner won't happen until 2018, and that is if the winner agrees to defend his IBF title against the mandatory challenger right away.

Good for Artur, he deserves a big fight.

Might as well hand it to him.... no other contender with any stock value will face him for 25% of the pot.

[Madison Boxing]

they wont fight him, trust me on that...

Jeff Page Jr put Beterbum on his ass and he slaps softer than Ward
