Aydin drops down to jr welter

By Per-Ake Persson

Newly crowned IBF I/C jr welter champ Ignacio "Natxo" Mendoza, 38-7-2, will defend the title against Turk [Selcuk Aydin], 25-2, September 27 in Istanbul, writes boxen-heute.de.

Menzova  vs  Aydin

Both men won fights in Cuxhaven July 27 and this set up this fight. Aydin have after losses at welter in the US to Roberto Guerrero and Jesus Soto Karass decided to drop down to jr welter and this will be his first major fight in his new weight division. Mendoza, from Colombia but based in Spain, is a very good, experienced boxer with a good punch but his chin is not the strongest and this where the harder punching, stronger Aydin will have his chance.
