SEOUL, KOREA
The WBC featherweight title bout between newly crowned Rudy Lopez and ex-champ Injin Chi was postponed from November 26 until December 17. Poong San Promotion, presided by Kusung Lee, has announced that it will take place at the Chungmu Art Hall, Seoul, Korea. The Mexican Lopez captured the WBC throne by an upset stoppage of Japanese southpaw Takashi Koshimoto (who retired afterwards) in Fukuoka this July. It was the Korean Chi that had yielded his belt to Koshimoto there last January. It will be a confrontation of the young fresh champ and the cagey veteran.
