Muriqi against Woods for a world title eliminator fight

(source: http://www.sportieuropian.de/news1.html )

World ranked light heavyweight Elvir “Kosovo Kid” Muriqi (35-4-0, 22 KO’s) will make his european debut on January 31 in Jersey island against the former IBF light-heavyweight champion Clinton Woods (41-4-1, 24 KO’s).

This bout will come exactly after 1 year since the 28-year-old Albanian had his last fight against Jameel Wilson, which he won with a TKO in the fourth round.

The fight is billed as the IBF light heavyweight world title eliminator and will be promoted by Dennis Hobson.

A win over the highly-rated Woods would put Muriqi in line for the IBF title probably against American Tavoris Cloud, as current champion Chad Dawson is expected to relinquish his title to chase a fight against Joe Calzaghe or Bernard Hopkins.

Muriqi vs Woods will be live televised in the United Kingdom and all over Europe
