Urango injury opens door for Rabah to face N'dou in all-Aussie showdown

Earlier today, Boxingtalk reported that Juan Urango would meet Lovemore N'dou in an IBF junior welterweight eliminator to move one step closer to showdown with Ricky Hatton. Hours after our information went public, Urango suffered an injury that has forced him to step aside. In steps Naoufel Ben Rabah, the next available contender according to the IBF's rankings. Rated #5 by the IBF, Rabah is 25-1 as a pro, but unrated by Boxingtalk. Sources close to Rabah have informed Boxingtalk that he will not let this opportunity pass. Expect this all-Australian showdown to be solidified shortly. (6:30 PM)
