Lebedev-Mchunu will clash for WBC silver title

Former WBA cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev (32-2, 23 KOs), who announced his retirement last July, has since decided that he still has a lot to give to boxing, even at age forty. He is readying to fight South African veteran Thabiso Mchunu (21-5, 13 KO), ranked #8 by the WBC,  on December 21 at the Ivan Yarygin Sports Palace in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. The winner could land a WBC title shot in 2020.

  • No surprise here as the Russian doesn’t look shot even though he’s not a match for the very top at cruiserweight anymore. He can still make money in Russia and might pick up a title while he’s at it
