EBU super middle champ Karo Murat
reportedly defends the title against Italian Lorenzo Di Giacomo, a
former EU champ and EBU two-time challenger at middleweight, May 30 at a
site to be announced in Germany.
P 3 Boxing have been forced to cancel EU jr welter ruler Giuseppe
Lauri´s defence against Juho Tolppola April 18 as the Finn have battling
with illness for over a week. The show, set for the Kiisahall in
Helsinki, still go ahead with Russian jr welter Dennis Shafikov and
former EBU middle champ Amin Asikainen headlining. Also on the bill is
Swedish heavy Attila Levin, Finnis heavy Jarno Roseburg and Norwegian jr
light Andreas Evensen.
Universum have added a third title fight to the show in Bremen May 2 as
super middles Lukas Wilaschek and Dimitri Sartison clash for the vacant
German title. It’s also an internal Spotlight Boxing eliminator.
Sartison have looked pretty sharp since fighting WBA king Mikkel Kessler
in June of last year and is a firm favourite to win in my eyes.
It’s official: it will be Maselino Masoe that challenge WBO super middle
champ Karoly Balzsay April 25 in Krefeld. The show is headlined by Felix
Sturm defending the WBA crown against Japanese Koji Sato.
