Ryad Merhy vs. Zhaoxin Zhang Set For July 17 in Brussels
2 Rounds Promotion in Belgium has managed to find an opponent for WBA regular cruiserweight champion Ryad Merhy (29-1-1) for his defense on July 17 in Brussels and it will be Chinese contender Zhaoxin Zhang, 10-1-1, and ranked # 14 by the WBA.
Zhang replaces IBO king Kevin Lerena, who had to pull out due to a serious hand injury.
Also added to the bill is former WBA cruiser champ Youri Kalenga (26-6).
Light heavies Timo Laine (28-15-0-1) and Aku Kanninen (7-0-1) square off for the vacant Finnish title tomorrow (July 3) on Oulu, Finland.
The by now 37-year old Laine, who doubles as a model, was last seen being outboxed by Lerrone Richards in the UK. Laine has been in a lot of tough fights on the road over the years - and another tough evening awaits in Oulu against the promising local hero.
