The event was originally supposed to take place on May 4th
Ukrainian boxer fight Karen Chukhadzhyan (23-2, 13 KO) with the British Harry Scarff (13-2, 3 KO) for first position Welterweight rankings have been moved.
The event was originally scheduled for May 4 in Leverkusen, Germany. Now the fight is scheduled for May 17 in Germany.
Let us remind you that Wasserman Boxing, which represents Scarff’s interests, did not fulfill its obligations to organize the fight as specified in the fight contract. Thus, the Wasserman Boxing bet is considered canceled, and the fight must take place on the terms of the Ukrainian side.
If he refuses to fight, Scarff will be removed from the fight, and Chukhadzhyan will be assigned another opponent to fight for the status of mandatory challenger for the IBF world welterweight title.
Earlier it became known that the winner of the eliminator will take first place in the IBF rankings and will become a mandatory challenger for the fight with belt holder Jaron Ennis.
Let us remember that in January 2023, Chukhadzhyan lost the fight for the title of interim IBF champion to an American, but at the same time managed to hold out the entire distance against a formidable knockout, which few people had previously managed. After that, Karen scored two knockout victories – over Venezuelan Michael Marcano in April and over Italian Pietro Rossetti in October, retaining the IBF Inter-Continental welterweight belt.
Scarff, 30, scored a points win over compatriot Ekow Essuman in November to move up the IBF rankings.
