Perhaps Belarussian heavyweight Sergei Lyakhovich's recent good form is about to pay dividends for him by way of a world championship fight against current IBF champion Chris Byrd. "The White Wolf" has only one loss against twenty-two professional victories and in his last fight, he defeated once touted prospect Dominck Guinn by decision. Byrd's career has stalled under the guidance of promoter Don King with unification fights eluding him and a potential rematch with Wladimir Klitschko falling through.
SaddoBoxing hopes to bring you official confirmation of this fight soon.
