The long-awaited and distressful showdown between current EBU titleholder Armenian Mger Mkrtchian (23-2, 17 KOs) and hot Georgian contender David Gogiya (15-1, 4 KOs) seems to be finally on. Two of the best current super middleweights, both fighting in Russia since the beginning of their pro careers, will collide on Oct. 12, in St. Petersburg, Russia. This bout was originally scheduled on Sep. 28, in Moscow, Russia, then removed on Sep. 23, to Kiev, Ukraine, and then cancelled. Mkrtchian (#4 WBA, # 6 IBF, and #9 WBC) was later set to fight Spanish Gabriel Campillo, however, this fight was scratched due to an injury, suffered by Campillo. Gogiya and Mkrtchian representatives met once again and were able to reach late agreement.
