A WBC Super Lightweight world title eliminator between Nigeria's Olusegun Ajose and Canada-based French-Algerian Ali Chebah is set for September 30th at the Chumash Casino in California. The London-based southpaw has held the Nigerian, ABU, WBF Intercontinental, British, and Commonwealth belts in compiling an unblemished 29-0 record while Algerian hero Chebah has lost only once in thirty-seven outings and is the proud owner of the WBC Youth and North American Boxing Federation belts.
While the two boxers sport impressive records, a closer look at the level of their opposition suggests that the pair must consider themselves very lucky to be involved in a fight that will give them a mandatory crack at the world title. And with world champ Timothy Bradley's managerial woes forcing him to be declared "Champion In Recess" by the WBC, this may pave the way for a direct shot at the newly vacant belt.
