According to sources in Poland, there are negotiations taking place to match James Kirkland (32-1, 28KOs) against Polish junior middleweight contender Damian Jonak (37-0-1, 21KOs). Jonak has enough power to hang with Kirkland and stopped a number of his foes, but his last five opponents have been able to last the distance.

The fight is being discussed for April 26th at The Theater in New York's Madison Square Garden, as the co-featured fight to Gennady Golovkin's next HBO televised defense of the WBA/IBO middleweight titles.
