Saturday night at the StubHub Center in Carson, California, WBC super middleweight champion Sakio Bika defends his belt against undefeated Anthony Dirrell. This is a rematch of their draw last December.
Any 168-pound belt not held by Andre Ward is a bit irrelevant now. But Dirrell is one of the top fighters left in the division who hasn’t faced the pound-for-pound star, so a win could place him in a position of high pedestal.
For the veteran Bika, it’s an opportunity to prove he’s still near the top at super middleweight.
