In the upcoming Year of the Mouse, Meng Fanlong could provide one of boxing's loudest roars.

After witnessing a spectacular title defense by IBF light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev in Philadelphia last week, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum wants to match the Russian against Meng - aka 'Cold Blood' - the undefeated No 1 contender from Chifeng, Inner Mongolia.

Last Friday, the 34-year-old Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KOs) floored previously unbeaten (17-0) Oleksandr Gvozdyk three times before stopping the Ukrainian in the 10th.
