Cameroonian Sakio Bika defends his WBC title in US

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.
