    This Saturday night #1 WBO Avtandil Khurtsidze (32-2-2, 21 KOs) will be mixing it up with #3 WBO Tommy Langford (18-0, 6 KOs) for the interim World Boxing Organization middleweight strap at the Leicester Arena in Leicester, England. The Khurtsidze-Langford fight will be televised on BoxNation in the UK.

    Ideally, the 37-year-old Khurtsidze should be fighting WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders for his title, as it’s about time that he defends against the No.1 guy. Saunders has been the WBO 160lb. champion for over a year now, and he still hasn’t defended his title against his mandatory. You’d hate to see Khurtsidze age out before he finally gets a shot at the WBO belt. At least with Khurtsidze fighting the 27-year-old Langford for the interim WBO strap, he’ll be in position to take the title in the near future if Saunders opts not to fight him.
