Daniel 'The Real Deal' Geale will make the second defense of his IBF world title in Tasmania February 2012. The show is promoted by Grange Old School Boxing and the card will also feature Kali Meehan, Jamie Pittman and Steve Maxwell.

In the main event Daniel Geale (26-1-0) will face Osumanu Adama (20-2-0) of Ghana in the Australian's first mandatory defense of the IBF Middleweight title. Adama defeated Roman Karmazin in a title eliminator with a 9th round knockout in October. Adama is a former IBO world title holder and will prove to be the champions toughest opponent yet.

There has been reports by BoxRec that Billy Dib (33-1-0) will make his first mandatory defense of the IBF Featherweight title in the co-feature bout with Dib's management still weighing up their options.

The show is expected to screen live on Main Event PPV.

I thought Adama still had to fight Soliman in the IBF box-off to face Geale? What happened to the Pirog bout? No takers to host it in the US?

I will have an article up in the next day or so explaining that issue.
