BoxingScene.com has been advised that a rematch between former IBF junior middleweight champion Cornelius "K9" Bundrage (32-5) and former WBO champion Zaurbek Baysangurov (28-1) is being negotiated for November 9th. If a deal is reached the fight would take in Baysangurov's native Russia.

The first fight took place in 2008 when Bundrage stopped Baysangurov in 5 rounds, handing the Russian's his only defeat.

Baysangurov was stripped of his title this summer when he was injured in his training camp for his mandatory title defense against Demetrius Andrade.  Andrade will now face Vanes Martirosyan on the same November 9th date for the vacant title. The WBO had previously stated that Baysangurov would be the first in line to face the winner.
