Felix Sturm vs. Fedor Chudinov to fight for Froch’s vacated WBA 168lb title this Saturday
By Scott Gilfoid: Carl Froch being stripped of his WBA 168 pound strap by the WBA earlier on Friday has opened the door for #1 WBA Fedor Chudinov (12-0, 10 KOs) and #2 WBA Felix Sturm (38-4-2, 18 KOs) to fight for the vacant WBA super middleweight title this Saturday, May 9th in their fight at the Festhalle, in Frankfurt, Hessen, Germany.
The winner of the Sturm-Chudinov fight will be the new WBA regular champion at 168. It’ll be interesting to see if the WBA then tries to force the winner to face WBA Super World champion Andre Ward like they were attempting to do with Froch.
Felix Sturm vs. Fedor Chudinov for WBA regular 168lb title, Froch to be stripped?
By Scott Gilfoid: On May 9th, former IBF/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Felix Sturm (39-4-3, 18 KOs) will be challenging interim WBA super middleweight champion Fedor Chudinov (12-0, 10 KOs) at the Festhalle, Frankfurt, Hessen, Germany. According to Fightnews.com, the 36-year-old Sturm and Chudinov will be fighting for the WBA regular super middleweight title.
This is the belt that is currently in the hands of Carl Froch. This means that he’ll be stripped of his WBA 168 pound strap by the World Boxing Association. The reason why Froch will be stripped is because he didn’t agree to the negotiations with Andre Ward after the WBA ordered the Ward-Froch fight.
