Newly crowned WBA junior middleweight Yuri Foreman ,a Brooklyn resident, currently wears three international hats plus his observant Jew yarmulke.
Foreman was born in Belarus, lived in Haifa, Israel, and is now a New Yorker.
His first defense of the 154 pound title he won underneath the Miguel Cotto-Manny Pacquaio main event Nov. 14 (a sparkling UD 12 over champ Daniel Santos) looks as though it will come on the undercard of the monstrous Floyd Mayweather-Pacman Lollapalooza coming up March 13.
Fight beat chatter has it that Foreman, Bob Arum’s new pride and joy as a rabbinical student who is getting closer to being ordained, will take on he throws punches in bunches Pawel “Raging Bull” Wolak.
Wolak is from Poland but now lives in Mt. Arlington, NJ., and owns a pro record 25-1 with 17 KOs. His sole defeat was a UD 10 at the slick hands of Ishe Smith.
Wolak, 28, comes forward and while he stays busy on offense, his defense is suspect.
Wolak-Foreman would offer a nice contrast in styles as Foreman is a tall, rangy boxer who can bang a bit.
The Mayweather-Pacman one and only press conference to kick off the promotion is being planned for Jan. 11 in New York.
Maybe Foreman can give the show his “blessing.”
