Stevenson and George were supposed to have already fought, but Stevenson suffered a hand injury, causing the fight to be pushed back to October. Stevenson, 35, is now healed and ready to go for this crucial fight.

The winner of the Stevenson-George fight will be the mandatory challenger for IBF super middleweight champion Carl Froch, although there’s a good chance that Froch will never face either one of these guys because he’s talking about possibly fighting only three more times and then retiring.

The winner of the George-Stevenson fight will get a shot against IBF champion Carl Froch possibly next year.

Stevenson, 35, really hasn’t faced the kind of puncher that George is since getting stopped by Darnell Boone in the 2nd round in 2010. Stevenson wasn’t ready for that kind of power and folded quickly against Boone. George can punch at least as hard as Boone when he’s sitting down on his punches.
