Ionut Baluta
Current WBC International Super Bantamweight champion

Zhan Kossobutskiy
Current WBC International Heavyweight champion
Kazakhstan’s Zhan Kossobutskiy (18-0, 17KO) won the vacant WBC International Heavyweight title when he stopped former world title challenger Johann Duhaupas (39-6, 26KO) in six.
The 41-year-old Frenchman retired on his stall after round five and wouldn't come back out for the sixth stanza.
The vacant championship was promoted by Universum in Hamburg on May 21.
The last titleholder was Congolese combatant Martin Bakole, who is also coming off a big win, having just defeated Olympian Tony yoka on away soil. These two would make for a good pairing in the ring.
