By Allan Fox: WBA World cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev (25-1, 19 KO’s) will be making his second defense of his World Boxing Association belt against the soon to be 40-year-old WBA Champion in Recess Guillermo Jones (38-3-2, 30 KO’s) on May 17th at the Crocus City Hall, Myakinino, Russia.
Jones, 6’4”, will be turning 41-years-old old May 5th, so by the time he steps inside the ring he’ll be one of the other challengers that you’re going to see at cruiserweight. Jones held the WBA title 2008 to 2012, defending a total of twice in the four years that he had it.
