IBF Sanctions Karmazin vs. McKart for IBF Intercontinental Middleweight Title

PhilBoxing.com


Former World Champions To Fight For NABF and IBF I/C Belts
Two vacant titles will be up for grabs in the same fight this Saturday, December 20, 2008, at the Hollywood Park Casino in Inglewood, California when former World Champions, Roman ?Made in Hell? Karmazin and Bronco ?Superman? McKart, step into the ring against each other. Already approved for the vacant NABF Middleweight title, the bout between these two veterans of the ring will also be for the IBF Intercontinental Middleweight title. The winner of this important showdown will likely earn a top 5 ranking in the WBC and IBF and another world title opportunity.

Karmazin, from St. Petersburg, Russia, became the fourth World Champion in Russia?s history on July 14, 2005 when he dethroned Kassim Ouma for the IBF Light Middleweight title. The last time Karmazin fought in Los Angeles, he knocked out former world champion Alejandro Garcia in the 3rd round at Staples Center. Karmazin?s record is 36 wins, 3 losses, 1 draw, with 23 knockouts.

?I am very honored that the IBF and WBC/NABF are involved,? Said Karmazin. I was once the #1 Ranked fighter in the world by the WBC and the IBF?s World Champion so I am glad that I could fight for their titles again.?

McKart, the pride and joy of Monroe, Michigan, is the former WBO, IBA, and NABF Light Middleweight Champion. Fighting against fellow World Champions is nothing new for McKart. In his illustrious 16 year boxing career, McKart has fought several World Champions including Kelly Pavlik, Winky Wright, Travis Simms, Verno Phillips, and Raul Marquez. In his previous fight this past March, McKart fought to a draw with former World Champion Raul Marquez. McKart?s record is 51 wins, 8 losses, 1 draw, with 31 knockouts.
