It appears that all four heavyweights have agreed to participate in the IBF's tournament to determine a mandatory challenger for their champion, Wladimir Klitschko.
According to Dan Rafael, Calvin Brock (31-1, 23 KOs) will face Eddie Chambers (29-0, 16 KOs) in the main event of a ShoBox card on November 2. In the other bracket, Chris Byrd (40-3-1, 21 KOs) is close to a deal to face Olympic gold medalist Alexander Povetkin (13-0, 10 KOs) on October 27 in Germany.
The two winners will collide in the early part of 2008. Klitschko is taking the rest of the year off to allow his injured left hand to heal.
