According to WBA interim-cruiserweight king Denis Lebedev (23-1, 17KOs), if he doesn't secure a fight with full WBA champion Guillermo Jones (38-3-2, 30KOs), then he plans to target a fight with former two-time IBF champion Steve Cunningham (24-4, 12KOs), who recently lost a twelve round decision in a gutsy performance against Yoan Pablo Hernandez.

"First, I will go to Stuttgart to support Alexander Povetkin in his fight against Marco Huck [on February 25th]. Then I will begin to prepare for the next fight. Negotiations are underway for fights with Steve Cunningham and Guillermo Jones. I will fight with one of them. [My next] fight is scheduled for early April," Lebedev said.
