Touted Heavyweight prospect Roman Greenberg will fight Vitaly Shkraba at Wembley Arena on September 10.
Greenberg, one of the hottest emerging talents in the heavyweight division, will box the 34-year-old Belarusian on the undercard of IBO world cruiserweight champion Carl Thompson's eagerly anticipated title defence against David Haye.
Greenberg, who was born in Russia, raised in Israel and who has now made Great Britain his home, is 15-0 (12) as a pro and is eager to be stepped up in class.
Shkraba has been in with some decent names in a pro career that began back in 1997, including the likes of Nicolay Popov and the giant Russian Nicolay Valuev.
Last time out was stopped in eight rounds by Dennis Bakhtov.

Should be a decent test for Roman.

Maybe he should face the winner of Krence Vs McDermott after this one?

Greenberg is obviously talented, when exactly will they let him off the leash? After fifteen fights he should be facing better guys than this if he is as good as they keep shouting about.
