(FEB 10) Talks have begun to
have the winner between Lani Daniels vs. Alrie Meleisea IBF
World Heavyweight title fight for unification in the USA.
Promoter Vasco Kovačević has been in talks to possibly make the
historic fight between Lani Daniels and Alrie Meleisea for both
IBF and WBO World Heavyweight titles. Currently, the IBF is
confirmed for the fight on May 27th at Aucklands Eventfinda
Stadium, however, WBO has not. But if the WBO decide not to
confirm this world title fight, the following fight will be.
Kovačević is now in discussions with an American promoter for
the winner of the Lani Daniels vs Alrie Meleisea fight to take
on a highly-ranked boxer in America for a unification world
heavyweight title. Kovačević can not reveal who the promoter or
the boxer is as of yet, but if all goes to plan, Daniels or
Meleisea will be making their USA debut as soon as August this
year.
Only one New Zealand female boxer has fought in the USA in their
professional career in the history of New Zealand Boxing. In May
2018, Baby Nansen fought at Madison Square Garden when she took
on Mikaela Mayer before Mayer became the Unified World Super
Featherweight champion. Kovačević putting in efforts to make one
of these fighters to be the next person to put New Zealand women
boxing onto the map.
Kovačević can not release the name of the boxer who could be the
opponent in August, but if the boxer is American, there are
currently four American boxers who couple possibly be in the
running for a world title shot. WBC Silver Champion Danielle
Perkins, Laura Ramsey, Lorissa Rivas Wallace and Aidyl Cardenas.
Oxandia Castillo who is highly ranked across the board in the
top 2, isn't American but has American management and promoters
and in my opinion, should get the first shot at the winner
between Daniels vs Meleisea.
Kovačević is working hard on making sure that the historic world
title event will be the best boxing event of the year. The event
has been confirmed to be televised by Sky TV. He can confirm
that he will have at least 5 or 6 professional fights on the
undercard of the world title fight. Kovačević will be taking on
significant costs to put on the world title event as well as the
production costs to make sure the event is televised. He is
currently looking for sponsorship for the event including naming
rights sponsorship.
Tickets will be on sale soon with General Admission tickets to
be sold with Eventfinda and Corporate Tables sold either with
Kovačević directly or on the RLCA website.
