Adamu next for Grant but Pemberton still a possibility later
On Monday, Boxingtalk published an interview with Scott Pemberton, who was angry because no fights have materialized for him as of late. GYM chairman Yvon Michel, promoter of super middleweight contender Otis Grant, confirmed that he was called by Pemberton’s promoter Jimmy Burchfield on Monday with a request for an accommodation for himself and his fighter to attend the June 18th boxing card at the Bell Centre in Montreal featuring Grant. GYM originally offered Pemberton a spot on that card to face Grant, which was declined by Burchfield back in March for monetary reasons. “We offered Pemberton a lot more than $35,000 [Pemberton’s highest ever purse] to fight Grant on June 18th,” Michel told Boxingtalk.
