The World Boxing Council have named the opponents Probellum stars O’Shaquie Foster and Noel Gevor must face next to keep on track for their respective world title shots.

Super-featherweight stylist Foster is the No.1 contender in the WBC rankings and has been ordered to face Mexico’s Eduardo Ramirez (No.3) next.

The winner of that fight will be in line to face champion Shakur Stevenson, who won the WBC belt by defeating Oscar Valdez in Las Vegas last month.

In a recent post on social media, Foster said a fight between the pair would be: “the most Highly Skilled fight EVER at 130lbs. It’s the fans that win…”

Cruiserweight puncher Gevor, meanwhile, has been matched with South Africa’s Thabiso Mchunu with the prize being a shot at champion Ilunga Makabu.

Gevor (26-2,11KO), the WBC Silver champion who fights out of Germany, is No.2 in the sanctioning body’s ratings while Mchunu, who lost to the world champion Makabu in January, is No.3.

The former world title challenger strengthened his position with the WBC by defeating contender Youri Kalenga in February.

The ordered fights were announced by WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman on Tuesday.

American Foster (19-2, 11KO), who beat Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov at Probellum Evolution in Dubai earlier this year in an official eliminator, is joined by stable-mate Archie Sharp in chasing a fight with Stevenson.

Sharp is the ranked as the No.1 contender for the American’s WBO title in the 130lbs division.

Noel Gevor vs. Youri Kayembre Kalenga

Studio 69 in Riga, Latvia – 12 February 2022

Armenian based in Germany, Noel Gevor (25-2-0, 11 KO’s), will face tough fighter from Congo, Youri Kayembre Kalenga (27-6-02, 20 KO’s) on February 12 at the Studio 69 in Riga, Latvia.

In this country, back in 2018, Gevor lost a very close decision against the local star Mairis Briedis. Now, he heads back to Latvia, aiming for a big win on a card presented by Probellum.

Gevor is ranked 4th and Kalenga is ranked 9th in the WBC rankings, so in addition to the World Boxing Council’s Silver Cruiser title being at stake, the winner will take a significant step towards disputing the world crown.
“I am looking forward to getting back in the ring and facing Youri, who is an experienced fighter. After signing with Probellum in December, my immediate goal is to make sure I’m in the best possible shape to show the world that I’m one of the best in my division,” said Gevor.

For his part, Youri Kayembre commented:

“I am excited about this fight. I`ve undergone a great preparation for this fight, determined to continue reaping triumphs in my career.”
