Damn 48 years old? What are they recruiting fighters from senior living centers now? This dude could get seriously hurt, I can't believe they even sanctioned this. Hopkins was a way better fighter than this guy and look what happened to him in his last fight, knocked clean out the ring by some random journeyman. 48 is way too old to still b fighting.

All due respect to Arslan - but spare us this IBO bs. Not even close to a world title. A look at boxrec for IBO beltholders exposes the fraud

"cruiserweight king" ???

This reads like a press release rather than journalism.

"World title"? Please. Lerena is a solid up and coming contender, Arslan is still a dangerous veteran. Decent experience gaining fight for Lerena, nothing more.

solid world title fight

This is not a bad fight at all. Arslan has mixed it with the best and his still showing he has fight in him. He drew with a fighter who tyson fury boxed. Lerena is on the way up so I expect him to win but Arlsan is a solid test for anyone and deserving of opportunities.
