A lot of hype has been based around the future of two South African superstars in Thabiso "The Rock" Mchunu and IBO World Champion Chris "The Heat" Van Heerden.

Over the last month social platforms have been abuzz with rumours of "The Rock" fighting American Heavyweight Eddie Chambers in New York on August 3rd 2013.

"I can confirm that I have done a deal with Main Events and Mchunu will be fighting Chambers at Cruiserweight on NBC sports live come August 3 2013. Chambers went the distance with Wladimir Klitschko, but the time has come for Mchunu to show the world that he is undoubtedly the best Cruiserweight on the planet." Said Showpony CEO, Damian Michael.

Should Mchunu win he will be co promoted by Kathy Duva and Main Events moving forward. Mchunu is currently ranked number 8 by the WBC and under Showpony and Main Events his world title is surely just around the corner.

"Stable mate and IBO World Champion Chris Van Heerden has an opportunity to defend his title against Team Mayweather welterweight, Ashley Theophane (33-5-10), Either in London or New York depending on Theophane's management. We are still in negotiations but both Chris and Ashley are keen and have agreed to get it on."

"The Heat" will be joining Showpony and Team Smith on their trip to New York for a training camp, starting July 18 2013.

Never heard of him. Boxrec rank him #9 at cruiserweight though. Good to see Eddie getting back in the ring anyway. He can definitely be a real force at cruiser.

Would be good to see if he comments here about it

Good to hear, @Team_Chambers good luck you can be a real force at cruiser

This fight was announced a few weeks ago on twitter and eddie had no idea about it so...

Isn't he getting on a bit now, Chambers? I feel as though he should have done this a while back rather than accrue mileage at HW and then try it. Hope it goes well, though.

That article has a lot of mistakes in it.

Crap. I like Eddie, or at least how he presents himself on twitter and forums. Was hoping he had something on his plate finally.

well its been brought up on twitter again today and he seems keen for it, i think he just wants a fight and although i know nothing about Mchunu i think this would be a perfect comeback fight. Ranked opponent, at cruiser, and winnable as Eddie has the skillset but was let down by size as a heavy.

Good to see Fast Eddie at cruiser, hope he goes well. Should have moved down year ago truth be told. A fighter as good as Chambers could very well pick up a title sometime in the future.

If Eddie can stay injury free I think he can be a top fighter at cruiserweight. I think he should have moved down a few years ago tbh.

This looks more likely now but a contract still hasnt been sent to chambers i dont think

Lebedev had called him out but supposedly Don King wasn't keen on the idea and pretty much cock blocked it, would of been a good match.
