The WBC has ordered a mini-tournament in the light heavyweight division, with the winner getting a shot at the WBC title, currently held by Bernard Hopkins.
The four-fighter tournament will feature a first bracket of Chris Henry (25-2, 20 KOs) vs. Ismayl Sillakh (16-0, 13 KOs) and Jean Pascal (26-2-1, 16 KOs) vs. Zsolt Erdei (33-0, 18 KOs), with the winners facing one another for the title shot, likely by mid-2012.
Hopkins is scheduled to defend the belt he won from Jean Pascal last May against Chad Dawson in October at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
