Briggs-Ibragimov headed to Moscow on June 2

Boxingtalk has been informed that Sultan Ibragimov's promoters, as winners of the WBO purse bid, have scheduled heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs' mandatory defense of his title against Sultan Ibragimov for June 2, 2007 in Moscow, Russia. The fight was slated for New York this past weekend, but Briggs came down with pneumonia and Ibragimov knocked out late replacement Javier Mora in less than a minute. Remember where you heard it first! (1:51 PM EST)
