| Further to our report yesterday regarding the current situation of WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe, it appears that Calzaghe’s sixteenth defense of his title may come against hard-hitting American Antwun Echols. Echols is well known for his |  |
brace of fights at middleweight with Bernard Hopkins, the second of which was an especially ill-tempered encounter. However, Echols has also challenged for world super middleweight honors against Australia’s Anthony Mundine, a fight in which he lost a unanimous decision. The fight would certainly be a welcome alternative to Calzaghe’s mandatory obligation to Mario Veit, a fighter whom he has already defeated. We will keep you updated with the latest developments on this story.
