According to Polish promotor Tomasz Babilonski, in a December 2 decision, the WBC has changed their cruiserweight mandatory challenger – making not Krszysztof “Diablo” Wlodarczyk (58-4-1, 39 KOs), but another Polish fighter, Michał Cieslak (19-0, 13 KOs), the opponent of Ilunga Makabu (26-2, 24 KOs) for the vacant world title. Possible date: January 18 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Whaaa! They’re going to have a world title fight in the DRC? That’ll be a first. If the pole wins I hope he gets out alive. Makabu is a bad son of a gun though.
