When and where will IBO cruiserweight champ Kevin Lerena fight next? A showdown against Norwegian Kai Robin Havnaa appeared to be all set for late September in Norway, but due to COVID-19 nothing more have been confirmed and as it is now Norwegian authorities don´t even permit sparring with fighters above 20 years of age.
