EBU cruiser champ Mateusz Masternak make a voluntary defence of the title against Russian Grigory Drozd October 5 in Moscow. Earlier in the week the EBU postponed the purse bids for Masternak´s mandatory defence against Jeremy Ouanna as there was a request for a voluntary defence – which was granted. There was also strong rumors of that Masternak would defend the title against Youri Katenga September 7 in Frederikshavn but now it´s against Grozd on the Klitschko vs Povetkin bill.´

With Kubrat Pulev, reigning EBU heavyweight champion, facing Tony Thompson in a final IBF eliminator August 24 the purse bids for Pulev´s mandatory defence against Dereck Chisora is postponed from August 20 to August 27. Chisora is booked to fight an opponent to be announced September 21 and Frank Warren Promotions nursed hope for a EBU title fight for Chisora on that show but don´t seem likely. Pulev is still a long way from getting a shot at the IBF title so keeping the EBU belt seem like a possible option.
