It is now official that the World Boxing Council (WBC) silver super middleweight bout between Malawi’s revered boxer Isaac ‘Golden Boy’ Chilemba and Russian Pavel Silyagin has been slated for November 5 in Moscow, Russia.

While the bout was arranged last month, organisers were yet to fix both the date and venue.

Chilemba: Preparations are going on well

In an interview from his base in Johannesburg, South Africa yesterday, Chilemba—a former IBO super middleweight champion—said both parties signed a contract for the bout on October 15.

He said: “Initially, we were planning to have it in October, but due to other technicalities, it was pushed to November 5.

“It was Silyagin’s team which asked for a bit of more time and I have no problems with that as it gave me three extra weeks of preparations.”

The 34-year-old boxer said he has intensified preparations for the fight.

“It’s all going according to plan and I am optimistic that by the time we face off, I will be more than ready,” he said.

Chilemba last fought in February this year against WBA super middleweight champion Fedor Chudinov which ended in a draw.

He has won 26, including 10 knockouts, losing seven (one knockout) and drawn three.

On the other hand, the 28-year-old Silyagin has won all his eight bouts, four through knockouts.

Chilemba scaled lofty heights in 2010 when he became a world champion after winning the IBO super middleweight title.
