The manager of IBF Inter-Continental champion in the welterweight division (up to 66.67 kg) Ukrainian Karen Chukhadzhian (23-2, 13 KO) Max Mikhailew, in a comment for Ready To Fight, said that his athlete's fight against the British Harry Scarff (13-2, 3 KO) will take place on May 17th in Hamburg, Germany and will be dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the BDB (Professional Boxing Federation of Germany).
In mid-February, the promotional company Kalle Sauerland's Wasserman Boxing won the promotional bidding. However, the conditions specified in the fight contract were not fulfilled by the British side, so the organization moved on to Karen's representatives - P2M Box-Promotion.
The status of mandatory challenger for the IBF title in the welterweight division will be at stake in the confrontation. The IBF championship belt is held by American Jaron Ennis.
