Masson-Yanchy to purse bids

By Per-Ake Persson

EBU flyweight champ Thomas Masson (14-3-1, 4) now have Valery Yanchy (25-4-2, 7), Belarus based in Spain, as official challenger. The EBU have set January 26 as final date for purse bids.

Masson previously had British Kevin Satchell (14-0-0, 3) as official challenger and the fight was set for March 5 in Arras but Satchell pulled out and will fight February 13 in Liverpool instead with a World title fight in sight.

The March 5 date is still set and Masson will face Angel Moreno (10-1-2, 2) in a voluntary defence.
