EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Carlos Santos, former International Boxing Federation junior middleweight champion, has been named to replace injured Davey Moore in a bout against Buster Drayton for the vacant IBF title June 4 at the Meadowlands.
Moore was forced to withdraw because of chipped bones in his right arm, suffered while blocking a punch during training a couple of weeks ago.
Moore now has been promised a fight with the Santos-Drayton winner.
