Cloud to defend light heavyweight belt against Mack
|
Multiple media sources are reporting that unbeaten Tavoris Cloud is likely to defend his IBF light heavyweight title June 25 against Yusaf Mack on a St. Louis card headlined by the Devon Alexander-Lucas Matthysse junior welterweight fight.
Cloud (22-0, 18 knockouts) would be making the third defense of the belt he won in August 2009 by defeating Clinton Woods. Mack (29-3-2, 17 KOs) has fought in back-to-back IBF title eliminators, losing the first by TKO to Glen Johnson, but outpointing Otis Griffin in his most-recent bout, winning a split decision in March.
