Wba Belt

Reports suggest that interim WBA lightweight champion Richard Abril will defend his title against unbeaten Ugandan puncher Sharif Bogere on October 13.

Abril controversially lost his shot at the full title against Brandon Rios in April but was allowed to keep possession of the interim bauble because of the contentious nature of verdict and the fact that Rios failed to make the 135lbs weight limit.

It was rumoured that Abril would put his title on the line against British and European champion Gavin Rees but now seems possible that the Welshman could now be set to fight Yuriorkis Gamboa.
