Read on fightnews.com that Gairy St Clair has made a challenge to Billy Dib.

"Former world lightweight champ Gairy St. Clair (40-7-2, 17 KOs) is calling out former sparring partner Billy Dib (21-0, 11 KOs), who recently picked up the IBO jr. lightweight belt. Dib is trained by St. Clair’s former trainer, Johnny Lewis. St. Clair and Lewis parted ways following the fighter’s controversial decision loss to rising star William Kickett (11-0, 5 KOs) in June."

I thought it was a bit strange that Lewis wasn't in St Clair's corner for the William Kickett fight. St Clair v Dib would be another great matchup if it happens. I thought Gairy won the Kickett fight and as for Dib's last fight that was the worst decision ever. The South African clearly won! Interesting to see how Kickett goes tonight too.

I would favour St Clair in this one.

Im a bit worried by Dib. I have seen him a few times now, and im not all that impressed. He lacks power. His speed is average, and his stance makes his punces harder to land, if thats possible.

But he has a lot of time (age) on his side i guess.
