Confirmed: Beterbiev will face Callum Johnson for IBF world title

[Madison Boxing]

Beterbiev has so much potential, but fights tomato cans once every year and a half or so... such a shame.

Kovalev fought Shabransky, Mikhalkin, both better than Callum Johnson, and will face Alvarez, arguably the number four guy in the division behind Stevenson, Bivol and Beterbiev.

johnsons a good fighter. knocked out 'the wise guy' in 1 round.

I feel robbed that we haven't gotten Kovalev-Beterbiev yet--considering they despise one another.

Shows up Yarde who bottled this fight totally. Good luck to Johnson, hope he's earning a good payday from this.

I’m just going with the NSB logic flow. If you’re not a champ and don’t knock everyone out, you’re a bum. If you don’t fight the number two guy, you chery pick tomato cans.

The difference is between him and everybody else is it’s a known fact nobody really wants too fight Beterbiev.... hell he can’t even find a Mando who wants too step up that’s unheard of.

Damn thats not even a bad fight !

Props to Callum Johnson for stepping up unlike Yarde, Browne, Barrera, Braehmer and the rest of the Light Heavyweight division
