Mairis Briedis vs. Yuniel Dorticos - December 14, 2019?

[Ruthless-RKO]

For the fourth time in five tournament fights, the World Boxing Super Series has provided Mairis Brieidis with a home game.

Details are still being finalized for the WBSS finals between fellow two-time cruiserweight titlists Briedis and Yuniel Dorticos, but BS.com has been informed of the event to take place on Dec. 14 at Arena Riga in Riga, Latvia.

Representatives from both camps have declined comment to BS.com, with all parties involved denying any such knowledge of a set date and location. Comosa AG’s Kalle Sauerland did not respond to an inquiry from BS.com seeking comment.

Barring a major U-turn—which, sadly, would be par for the course given the drama that has plagued WBSS as of late—the setting would place both boxers back at the very venue which housed their pair of semifinals wins, exorcising past tournament demons in the process.

Given his run of controversy in each of his two bouts this season, few would blame Dorticos or his team if they demanded something closer to an even playing field.

The one bout for Briedis to take place on neutral ground resulted in the most criticized scoring decision in any WBSS-sanctioned bout to date, when he claimed an unpopular 12-round decision over Noel Gevor last November in Chicago, Ill.

It paled in comparison to his march into the finals.
