N'dou to face Forbes, gunning for Cotto rematch!

BoxingTalk spoke with Lovemore N’dou over the weekend, who informed us that he will be fighting former IBF Junior Lightweight titlist Steve Forbes for the #2 spot sometime in October.   The venue has yet to be determined, but N’dou’s hometown of Australia, as well as the United States are possible locations for this fight to take place.  Even though The Black Panther is eager to take on Forbes in order to be the IBF’s second ranked junior welterweight, N’dou also informed BoxingTalk that with Miguel Cotto looking for a new opponent, he would be happy to take on Cotto in a rematch.  However, once N’dou is ranked #2 by the IBF, The Black Panther said he will be ready to take on Junior Welterweight King Ricky Hatton once Hatton demolishes the winner of the upcoming title eliminator between Ben Rabah – Arturo Morua.  Lovemore also shared some good news that his documentary film on he produced about hometown pal, IBF Flyweight Champion Vic Darchinyan has been picked up and will soon be aired on the Sky Sports Network
