The match between Chris John and Stanyslaw Merdov would be held as an auxiliary event at a bout between two boxers in another class, Denny Green of Australia and Krsystof Wlodczyj of Poland, Farhan Rangkuti, spokesman of Chris John`s promoter, Raja Sapta Oktohari, said here Monday.
Stanyslav Merdov has a record of 32 wins (24 by KO) and 7 losses and Chris John 45 wins (22 by KO) and 2 draws.
According to WBA's list of rankings as per September 12,2011, Stanyslav Merdov is not one of the best 15 in the flyweight class.
But according to boxing observer Martinez Dos Santos, although Stanyslav was not one of the 15 best, he was a tough fighter who follows the Eastern European boxing style.
"His double jabs are dangerous and Chris John should avoid them," Martinez Dos Santos said.
However, Martinez was confident Craig Christian, Chris`s manager and coach, already knows what to do in preparing Chris for the match with the Ukrainian.
Boxing in Australia would not be something new for Chris as he once fought Tommy Brouwn there. Besides, whenever he faces a duel to defend his title, Chris always trains at Herry's Gym in Perth, Australia. In fact, he is at present already in Australia to prepare for his match with Stanyslav. (*)
