There was a small piece in one of the papers yesterday that Arhtur could make the first defence of his EBU title against Sergey Gulyakevich

Don't know anything about him, although he seems to have completely annhilated Tontchev before he took Nagy 12 rounds. He is the EBU's #1, although that's with Limmond as next opponent. Don't know what's happening with that. Limmond did offer to fight Gomez first and the winner fight Arthur, but Gomez will now definitely be at lightweight when he returns.

January/February at Meadowbank was the suggestion for when it takes place.

I have seen the Tontchev fight, Gulyakevich looked compact and tidy, he waited for his opportunity and caught Tontchev with a big shot from which he never recovered. This will be a very good and sufficient test for Arthur, this is what i like about fighters taking the Euro route as they have tough fights like this and not handpicked WBU crap.
