WBA # 2 ranked junior middleweight Michel Soro (35-3-2) and WBA # 5 Magomed Kurbanov (24-0) square off on May 6 in Ekaterinburg, Russia, in a non-title ten-rounder.
According to Soro's promoter Yohan Zaoui there will be a Russian referee and judge, a French judge with the third official from a "neutral" country.
Kourbanov vs Soro was all set to go back in 2019 in France but then Kourbanov had to withdraw due to visa problems.
Soro comes off two tough fights against WBA # 1 Israel Madrimov where the first ended in a controversial TKO loss when the referee didn't hear the bell ending the ninth round, which allowed Madrimov to punch on the hurt Frenchman until the referee stopped it. The rematch ended in a technical draw when Soro was cut after an accidental clash of heads.
