WBC super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell will be putting his unbeaten record hanging in the balance and also his WBC 168 pound strap against #10 WBC contender Badou Jack (18-1-1, 12 KOs) in a booked 12 round battle on April 24th at a site to be dead set, by Rafael.
The fight could end up being broadcast on Spike TV as a major aspect of the "Premier Boxing Champions" arrangement, says Rafael. Dirrell is overseen by Al Haymon, so its truly conceivable the Dirrell-Jack battle will end up being broadcast in the United States.
This is a discretionary title safeguard for the 30-year-old Dirrell.
Dirrell should be protecting his WBC title against his WBC #1 required challenger George Groves, yet Dirrell rather requested an expansion so that he could get in his willful protection first in April before he tackles Groves later on in the year.

Dirrell isn't stressed over battling Groves. He simply needed to get his discretionary title resistance that he had coming to him before he confronts Groves. Dirrell figures to effortlessly deal with Groves when the time comes in 2015. As it were, this could be a simple year for Dirrell with him having two uneven title resistances.
Forests is the compulsory, however he's looked appalling in his last four battles against Carl Froch [twice], Christopher Rebrasse and Denis Douglin. Forests lost both battles to Froch by knockout, but the WBC still permitted Groves to battle in a WBC 168 pound eliminator against Rebrasse instead of picking a contender who has been winning their battles recently.
The victor of the Dirrell versus Jack battle will then be obliged to guard the WBC title against Groves next. Forests' promoters at Sauerland Events endeavored to get Dirrell to face Groves in his first safeguard, yet the World Boxing Council said that Dirrell could take a discretionary title protection against Jack, the length of he did it by April. Sauerland then bid the WBC's choice, however they administered against them.
It may really be better for Groves to have of a chance time to sit tight for his title shot against Dirrell, in light of the fact that the way Groves has been looking as of late in his last three battles, I don't think it would be a smart thought to place him in with Dirrell at this moment.
Forests was thumped out seriously by Froch a year ago in May, and Rebrasse, a light puncher, seemed to shake Groves up at point half quart in their battle in 2014. Indeed, even in Groves' last battle against minimal known 2nd level warrior Douglin, Groves took a great deal of discipline.

Maybe if Groves has of a chance time to recuperate from his knockout misfortune to Froch, he may have the capacity to stand a superior chance against Dirrell. That is to say, despite everything I see Groves getting thumped out by Dirrell, yet I think he'll be in an ideal situation having a long rest before he takes that battle as opposed to bouncing straight into it.
Jack, 31, was thumped out in the 1st round by the hard hitting Derek Edwards in February 2014. It was a circumstance where Jack was dropped by a huge right hand from Edwards, and he never recuperated from the knockdown. From that point forward, Jack has won his last two battles in beating Jason Escalera and Francisco Sierra.
