1. The WBA announced on Tuesday that Mikkel Kessler is the mandatory for the WBA Super Middleweight Title currently held by Anthony Mundine. Mundine lost a decision to Kessler for the WBA Title that Kessler then held in 2005. Mundine has his 3rd fight with Sam Soliman on May 28.2. It appears Omar Sheika and Elvir Muriqi may fight on the May 9 edition of ESPN2's Friday Night Fights.
3. Uh Oh!!! The Anthony Mundine-Sam Soliman fight has NOT been sanctioned by the WBA. As I stated earlier, the WBA just made Mikkel Kessler the mandatory at Super Middleweight. The WBA wants to see Mundine-Kessler soon or Mundine maybe stripped. Mundine has not fought a mandatory defense in 13 months. I am sure we have not heard the end of this one.
4. After his fight with Joe Calzaghe, Bernard Hopkins is going to the camp of Sugar Shane Mosley to help him for his May 31 fight with Zab Judah. Hopkins will help in the training camp and work in the corner of Mosley. This shows how good of friends and partners these two fighters have become.
