By Dan Ambrose: Unbeaten #2 IBF, #3 WBO, #4 WBA, #4 WBC light heavyweight contender Artur Beterbiev (9-0, 9 KOs) is looking for an opponent for him to fight in an IBF 175lb eliminator. The International Boxing Federation ordered a fight between Beterbiev and 50-year-old Bernard Hopkins for the IBF eliminator, but Hopkins failed to respond by the deadline last Thursday.
The other options aren’t looking very good for Beterbiev. According to Dan Rafael, the next available contender is #1 WBC, #2 WBO, #5 IBF Isaac Chilemba, but he’s not likely to take the fight because he’s ranked No.1 with the World Boxing Council and he’s poised to fight in a WBC eliminator bout against Andrzej Fonfara to try and become the WBC mandatory challenger to WBC champion Adonis Stevenson.
