BoxingScene.com has been advised that a fight between WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto (26-0, 20KOs) and Selcuk Aydin (20-0, 15KOs), the mandatory challenger, is currently being discussed for the fall.
The WBC recently issued an order which directs Berto to make a mandatory defense of his title against Aydin, who won the sanctioning organization's silver title in June. The WBC gave the promoters until September 17 to reach a deal before a purse bid was ordered. I've been told there was little to no interest on the side of Berto - until Aydin gave an indication that he was willing to make the fight in America.
When Berto's promoter, Lou DiBella, was reached for comment, he offered few details, but he did confirm that a Berto-Aydin fight is being discussed.
"I've had discussions over the last few days with [Aydin's promoter] Ahmet Öner," DiBella told BoxingScene.com.
