According to a report in Golzka, promoter Don King contacted HBO and told the network if they approve Andriy Kotelnik as the opponent for WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto on October 2, he guarantees the former champion from Ukraine will break the unbeaten streak of Berto.

As previously written on BoxingScene.com, promoters Lou DiBella and Gary Shaw are trying to make a tripleheader event for October 2 on HBO. The card would also feature WBO junior middleweight champion Sergei Dzinziruk and super flyweight champion Celestino Caballero.

Kotelnik is one of the possible opponents being looked at for Berto.

"I think after the kind of performance we saw from Kotelnik in the [Devon] Alexander fight, he deserves another opportunity for big fight. The [Alexander] fight was very close and a lot of people think if the fight was held somewhere other than St. Louis, Kotelnik would have been the winner," said Berto's promoter Lou DiBella.
