Manager reveals contracts exchanged
Former IBF light-middleweight champion Cory Spinks’ manager
Scott Hirsch has revealed to WBN that contracts for a rematch with current belt
holder Cornelius Bundrage have been exchanged and that Spinks has signed his
side of the deal.
Spinks, 34, lost his title in a huge upset knockout loss to
Bundrage in August 2010 and has since clawed his way back to mandatory status
following victories over Shakir Ashanti and Sechew Powell and says his fighter
is ready for revenge this year.
“I can tell you Cory has signed the contract for the fight
and the IBF has ordered Bundrage to fight Spinks as he is the #1 and mandatory
contender,” Hirsch told World Boxing News.
“I don't know if Bundrage has signed yet. You'd have to ask
Manny Steward or Don King. I am not involved in their negotiations but the
fight is on.”
The bout is now set to take place on June 23rd
at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, Calfiornia and 38 year-old ‘K9’ Bundrage
will look to keep his dog-like grip on the coveted red belt and score a second win over Spinks.
