It is not officially confirmed yet by the WBA but it appears to be a fact that they will recognize the Bridgerweight title.
According to German site boxen1.com the inaugural title fight will be staged on December 9 in Dubai where the troubled IBA (International Boxing Association) will hold a congress.
Fighting for the vacant WBA Bridgerweight title will be German Leon Harth ((22-5-1) and Russian Evgeny Tishchenko (12-1).
Both men have campaigned as cruiserweights in the past and Harth fought to a controversial draw against Jean Jacques Oliveri in his last fight, which was for the IBF European cruiserweight title.
Tishchenko’s last fight was a split decision over Belgian Yves Ngabu at home in Ekaterinburg. The judges had it 99-91 Ngabu and 98-92 and 96-94 for the Russian.
