This is none other than the cousin of former champion WBO heavyweight Sultan Ibragimov. The fight is scheduled December 2 at the Halle Carpentier in Paris, France. As previously reported on BoxingScene, Mormeck was scheduled to fight former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman but the two sides were unable to reach an agreement on several of the financial points.
