Promoter Frank Warren says Alex Arthur is ready to fight Sergey Gulyakevich
Boxing promoter Frank Warren says going against Sergey Gulyakevich will set Alex Arthur up for a bid at a world title.
Alex Arthur, 27, was due to fight Ghana's George Ashie on 29 April, but now he is facing the Belarussian boxer's mandatory challenge for his European super featherweight crown.
Frank Warren said: "I want Alex to fight for a world title before the end of 2006, and going in with Gulyakevich will give him the kind of experience he needs."
Sergey Gulyakevich has an 18-0 record, with the last four wins coming through knockouts and along the way he has picked up Belarus' super-featherweight title and the WBA intercontinental lightweight belt.
Frank Warren added: "Gulyakevich is as dangerous as they come, but I expect Alex to have a little bit too much for him."
Alex Arthur, who has a 22-1 record, won the title against Boris Sinitsin and made a successful first defence against fellow Scottish boxer Ricky Burns back in February.
