Southland heavyweight Charles Martin has IBF title shot Jan. 16 vs. Vyacheslav Glazkov

Southland heavyweight Charles Martin will fight for the heavyweight title next month following a successful purse bid by his promoter, it was announced Friday.

Martin (22-0-1, 20 knockouts), who trains under former U.S. Olympian Henry Tillman in Carson, will fight Ukrainian Vyacheslav Glazkov (21-0-1, 13 KOs) for the vacant International Boxing Federation title at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Showtime.

The IBF announced that Martin’s promoter, Warriors Boxing, won the purse bid against Glazkov’s promoter, Main Events, for $1.238 million.

Main Events Chief Executive Kathy Duva said in a statement Friday that Glazkov would receive 65% of the purse, or $804,000, according to the fight’s primary promoter, Lou DiBella. Martin will receive 35%, or $434,000.

The Jan. 16 card will be headlined by World Boxing Council champion Deontay Wilder’s title defense against Polish challenger Artur Szpilka.

Tillman, who co-trains Martin, said, “We’re elated, most definitely. Charles is eager, young … he’s the complete package. He has tremendous power, is elusive and his natural awkwardness works for him as a southpaw. This is what we’ve been training and fighting for — a shot at a world title.”

Duva, similarly, likes her fighter’s chances, saying Martin balked at an earlier opportunity to fight Glazkov.

“I don’t know anything about that,” Tillman said. “Glazkov’s a good fighter. It’ll be a good experience for us, but we’ll win.”

The short turnaround is not an issue for either fighter because each has been in training camp expecting a different fight. First, Glazkov saw efforts to fight for a title unravel.

Then, after the IBF stripped new champion Tyson Fury for honoring his rematch clause with former champion Wladimir Klitschko instead of fighting mandatory challenger Glazkov, Martin was named Glazkov’s mandatory opponent earlier this month.

That led Martin to withdraw from an NBC fight against Upland’s unbeaten 2012 U.S. Olympian Dominic Breazale in Texas.

With Wilder a prohibitive favorite in his bout, the IBF winner will get a television showcase that could lead to a unification fight against Wilder later in 2016.

“We’ll take one fight at a time,” Tillman said. “We’re all ready for everything ….”
