Brian Magee vacates European title to fight for WBA title

[Horse]

We inform you that Brian Magee relinquished the EBU super-middleweights title to dispute the WBA title.
Consequently the EBU title is declared vacant and will be disputed, in short terms, between Stas KASHTANOV and the first available top rated boxer.

It is good to read that Magee is getting a World title shot. I believe Dimitri Sartison is the WBA champion. Does Magee have a good chance against Sartison? I don't believe I have seen him fight.

Also, is there any chance that Paul Smith could be fighting Stas Kashtanov for the vacant European title?
