A few days ago it was reported that 27-year-old Ukrainian boxer Max Bursak would face 28-year-old Frenchman Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam for the interim world title of the World Boxing Organization. The interim title is usually at stake when the current world champion, for objective reasons (injury), is not capable of staging a mandatory title defense. The full champion is 31-year-old Russian boxer Dmitry Pirog. After suffering a minor injury, Pirog announced his ring return for May 1 - and the mandatory defense is not due until June 25.
According to well-known French newspaper “Le Parisien”, WBO #4 ranked middleweight Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam (26-0, 17 KOs), the former WBA interim titleholder originally from Cameroon, will likely stage a fight on April 20 in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, against WBO #1 ranked Ukrainian Maks Bursak (24-0-1, 10 KOs), 27, for the WBO interim 160lb belt.
An unfortunate left shoulder injury will postpone a possible April defense for WBO middleweight champion Dmitry Pirog (19-0, 15KOs). He was going to face former WBA-interim champion Hassan N'Dam N'jikam (26-0, 17KOs) of France on April 6th. The fight has now been placed on hold until further notice.
