According to the top Russian manager/promoter Vladimir Hryunov, one of his protégés Dmitry Chudinov (9-0-1, 6 KOs) may become a part of the upcoming card, headlined by a heavyweight collision between flamboyant former world title challenger Dereck Chisora (16-4, 10 KOs) and undefeated perennial contender Malik Scott (35-0-1, 12 KOs).

The card will take place on July 20 at Wembley Arena in London under the guidance of Frank Warren. Chudinov, 26, has recently made a quantum leap up in opposition but without any change in output, knocking out 25-6-1 Milton Nunez in one for the PABA interim middleweight title, and stopping rugged veteran Grady Brewer (30-15), while defending it for the first time. Chudinov’s opponent is yet to be decided.
