Traditional contenders Brazil, Greece and Turkey drew the other three spots to complete the 24-team field for this summers tournament in Spain, basketball governing body FIBA announced Saturday at its meeting in Barcelona. http://www.swelllahevcz.com/ . -- Linebacker Myles Jack ran for four touchdowns, defensive end Cassius Marsh caught a scoring pass, and No. Lee Selby is readying himself for a third defence of his IBF world featherweight title against Jonathan Victor Barros in mid-December.But the Welshman has already started looking towards his next challenge, hoping that victory against Argentine Barros (41-4-1, 22 KOs) would set up an all-British world title unification clash with Belfasts WBA champion Carl Frampton in 2017.Frampton (23-0, 14 KOs) must first prevail in a rematch against Mexican Leo Santa Cruz -- a bout expected to take place in America in January or February -- before a fight against Selby could be considered for Belfast next summer.Selby (23-1, 8 KOs), 29, said American Gary Russell (27-1, 16 KOs), the WBC champion would be another option.Barros won the eliminator so hes going to be next and its looking likely that itll be December, said Selby. Once the mandatory is out of the way Im looking for a big unification fight.Frampton is the one Id really like because hes a British fighter and a domestic fight would make the most sense boxing-wise and financially. But Im training now for Barros.Barroos made two defences of the WBA version of the world title in 2011 and Selby travelled to Tokyo to see him defeat local hero Satoshi Hosono by a split decision earlier this month.ddddddddddddhen I watched Barros live, he was different to what Id seen on YouTube and online, said Selby, who expected to fight Barros in the U.S..Hes a dangerous opponent, punches very hard with both hands, unorthodox; it would be a tough fight but Im confident I would come through it okay and then line up a big fight next year.Selby recovered from an early knockdown to unanimously out-point American Eric Hunter in London last April. Its no good being a champion if youre not defending your title, Selby said.Id like to be a little more active and three fights a year is perfect me. Im lucky that I can keep myself motivated. Im happy to train so Im always in the gym.Id liked to have had one more fight this year. Three fights -- thats the plan for next year. ' ' '
