Can't really fight anyone too good if he has to fight again next month!

Yeah but its late next month he would have over 6 weeks between this fight and the Williams fight. Carl Froch fought not long ago in preparation. The only risk is cuts so maybe he is right to take a sh1t opponent.

More relevant than the EU belt is the fact that Hide-Williams is an official eliminator for the EBU belt held by Luan Krasniqi. However, the 'official challenger' for this belt at the moment is Timo Hoffman so I'm not sure what's going to happen there.

Joe Louis fought Buddy Baer and Billy Conn within a month of each other defending his world heavyweight title in 1941.
