Frank Warren revealed that Enzo Maccarinelli has left Enzo Calzaghe's camp and could fight at the O2 Arena on June 27.
Maccarinelli has joined Lancashire-based trainer Karl Ince, who was in the opposite corner when the Swansea fighter stopped Matthew Ellis in December.
After a mixed start to his professional career, including a stoppage defeat to journeyman Lee Swaby, he joined the Newbridge Boxing Gym and subsequently won the WBO cruiserweight title in 2006.
The following year Enzo Calzaghe won the Ring Magazine Trainer of the Year award as the gym had three world champions with Gavin Rees joining his son Joe and Maccarinelli as titlists.
There followed Maccarinelli's crushing knockout defeat to David Haye in March 2008 and though he would stay with the camp for the next two fights, divisions emerged following his defeat to Ola Afolabi this March when it emerged that he had not sparred ahead of the contest.
With the legal dispute between the Calzaghes and Frank Warren, it seemed likely that he would have to leave one of the two, and it seems he has ultimately sided with his promoter.
“Enzo Maccarinelli will also probably be fighting on the card,” Warren revealed at a press conference on Thursday. ”We should know about that tomorrow.
“He’s going with a new trainer, Karl Ince. He might be fighting Denis Lebedev.
“I would like that fight for him. I think it’s a fight he could win.”
Lebedev (19-0, 12 KOs) began his career as a light-heavyweight compiling an impressive record, before returning last year after four years out of the ring in the cruiserweight division. He has subsequently won four fights by stoppage.
