Unified cruiserweight titleholder Denis Lebedev and mandatory challenger Murat Gassiev, who both have tremendous punching power, will square off Dec. 3 in Moscow in a potentially explosive fight.Lebedev is a long-reigning world titleholder, having held a belt since 2012. He unified two titles in his last fight, a second-round destruction of Victor Emilio Ramirez on May 21, also in Moscow.Lebedev is 37 and has been a pro for 15 years. His Russian countryman, Gassiev, turns 23 on Oct. 12 and has fought professionally since only 2011, but Lebedev is eager to fight the younger man.I wish for my opponent to have a good training camp. I will see you in the ring, said Lebedev (29-2, 22 KOs), a southpaw who has made six title defenses.Said Vadim Kornilov, Lebedevs manager: This is a very tough opponent and we are taking extra steps in camp to make sure Denis is prepared better than ever.Gassiev (23-0, 17 KOs) scored a sensational first-round knockout of Jordan Shimmell on May 17 in a title elimination fight that earned him the mandatory shot at Lebedev.Gassiev is trained by Abel Sanchez, the 2015 Boxing Writers Association Trainer of the Year, and trains alongside good friend and unified middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin.I think we have the skills and the power, Sanchez said. This young man has everything that is needed to become champion. The only issue in my mind, and I have said this to him, is the situation. He has never been in a big fight like this, and Lebedev has been in big fights. I think Gassiev will be able to handle the situation. I think its time for a new champion. This kid is the next Golovkin out of my gym.With Gassiev, who is part of adviser Al Haymons vast stable, fighting on Dec. 3 and Golovkin due back in the ring on Dec. 10, likely against Daniel Jacobs, Sanchez said he will remain in his Big Bear Lake, California, camp with Golovkin while one of his assistants travels with Gassiev to Moscow. Sanchez said he would join them in Moscow the day before the bout, his seventh with Gassiev, and work the corner before returning to the United States to be with Golovkin, whose fight is expected to be in New York.I have a hard time getting Gassiev sparring because hes so good, Sanchez said. He has a long way to go skill-wise, but he is very good and will be a lot better in the future. Lebedev is older and has had a lot of difficult fights. Gassiev has to take it to him. He has done really well since hes been with me. Hopefully that will continue with this fight.Were looking forward to it. Its a difficult fight for both guys. Its an older guy with a lot of wars but a lot of experience against a young up-and-coming guy looking to make a name for himself.The winner of the bout likely will have to make a mandatory defense against secondary titlist Beibut Shumenov (17-2, 11 KOs) in his next fight.

In a slap in the face to Jamie Whincups quest for Mount Panorama redemption, Peter Brocks brother has questioned the Holden guns mental strength ahead of Sundays Bathurst 1000.And in another swipe, Phil Brock has also accused Whincups team boss Roland Dane of providing preferential treatment to the four-time Bathurst champion.Phil Brock will present the winners trophy named in his famous siblings honour on Sunday to mark the 10th anniversary of the record nine-time Bathurst champions death.Whincup on Thursday looked like the man most likely to accept the Peter Brock Trophy with co-driver Paul Dumbrell after their Holden dominated day one of practice.But Brock wondered whether Whincup would have the mental fortitude to bounce back and claim a fifth Great Race after his recent troubles.The record six-time Supercars champion has had plenty of Bathurst success but he has not tasted victory since 2012 after the team were left to rue his last two campaigns on the mountain.Whincup last year sensationally ignored team orders to pit before passing a safety car, relegating him from second to the back of the field to eventually finish 18th.And in 2014, the Holden gun also defied a team directive and ran out of fuel on the 161st and final lap while leading the Great Race.Brock did not rule out another Whincup brain explosion on Sunday.Dont get me wrong - I think Jamie is a very good driver, Brock told AAP.But from what I have seen, he can mentally go off the boil at times.He can get too fired up then makes a bad call.He might rate Whincups ability but Brock remarkably hinted the Holden driver also enjoyed influuence from boss Dane.dddddddddddd think (Whincups Holden teammate) Shane van Gisbergen could win Bathurst for the first time this weekend, he said of the series-leading Kiwi.But if Roland gets his way, I think he will try and make sure Whincup wins.Roland obviously likes him.Nowadays, I think there are far too many ways a team manager can engineer things to create results.For the record, Whincup reckoned he had no Bathurst regrets despite enduring two frustrating years on the mountain.Theres no use looking back into the past, Whincup told AAP.I dont regret anything that happened.I felt I made the right call with the information I had.I will do the exact same thing this year and beyond.Whincup might not be getting much love from Phil Brock but the Holden champion only has admiration for the man honoured this weekend, affectionately dubbed King of the Mountain.I didnt know Peter but, of course, I respected him - he is the icon of our sport, Whincup said.Remembering him makes you want to do your best job, come Sunday.Whincup - placed second in the series - has already impressed at Bathurst, his Holden topping the timesheets in each of Thursdays three practice sessions.He left his best until last, clocking two minutes, 05.29 seconds ahead of Ford duo Fabian Coulthard and 2014 champion Chaz Mostert.Nissans James Moffat did not emerge in the final session after co-driver James Golding clipped the wall near Reid Park in the second practice.Qualifying starts on Friday afternoon.
