Soro defeats late replacement in France

Michel Soro TKO5 Anderson Prestot. ... At the Palace of Sports, in Marseille, France, Michel Soro (34-2-1) scored a technical knockout over fellow Frenchman Anderson Prestot (23-2). Soro stopped Prestot, a late replacement, in the fifth round. Soro was slated to fight for the vacant WBA regular junior middleweight championship against Magomed Kurvanov but Kurvanov was recently injured, so Soro remains the WBA mandatory contender. Julian WIlliams holds the WBA super championship in the division, but is not expected to face Soro soon. More likely, Soro will fight for the WBA's paper regular title against either Kurvanov or the winner of Erislandy Lara vs. Ramon Alvarez, a bout scheduled for August 31st. source: wba
