Chris Eubank will fight the Argentinian champion, Bruno Ruben Godoy, at the King's Hall, Belfast, on 27 May. Eubank was to meet the former WBA super-middleweight champion, Steve Little, but the American did not want the fight.

The promotor, Barry Hearn, is waiting to begin talks with his German counterpart, Wilfred Sauerland, manager of George Foreman's controversial victim, Axel Schulz, for Herbie Hide to fight the new European heavyweight champion, Zeliko Mavrovic. Hide, who lost his World Boxing Organisation title to Riddick Bowe last month, has been nominated as the mandatory challenger to Mavorovic by the European Boxing Union.
