The World Boxing Association has ordered a final world title eliminator between junior welterweight contenders Rances Barthelemy (25-0, 13 KO) and Kiryl Relikh (21-1, 19 KO).
Back in January, there was talk of having them face each other in an IBF final eliminator to get a crack at current world champion Julius Indongo. A date of April 22 was kicked around, and Premier Boxing Champions is staging a card on that night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with welterweight Shawn Porter and Andre Berto colliding in the main event.
. Indongo, who also holds the IBO title, is facing WBA champion Ricky Burns in a world title unification. The winner of Barthelemy vs. Relikh will collide with the winner of that fight. - See more at: http://www.boxingscene.com/barthelemy-vs-relikh-wba-eliminator-ordered--114920#sthash.MDPo7bw6.dpuf
