Apparently, the fact that Eric "Mighty Mouse" Aiken resigned with Banner Promotions has paid immediate dividends. The Forestville, MD resident will challenge Thomas "The Rock" Mashaba of South Africa for Mashaba's International Boxing Organization Featherweight title on Monday, November 12 at Emperor's Palace Casino in Kempton Park, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Aiken (16-5-1, 12 KO's) has not fought since his March 16 draw against Cruz Carvajal in Salem, NH. Aiken faces a formidable foe in Mashaba (19-2-4, 11 KO's), who is making the fifth defense of his IBO title that he took from former IBF Super Bantamweight champion Vuyani Bungu in June of 2005. However, Mashaba has not fought since December 15, 2006 when he scored a third round knockout over Oscar Leon in Western Cape, South Africa.

Hope Aiken can get in some altitude training...
Johannesburg is over 5,000 ft up in the air and all visitors run out of gas about halfway through a fight.
If he put down the drink
Train hard Eric. You got this one. He's busy but he can't punch.
