Sources have advised BoxingScene.com that junior middleweight titlist Serhiy Dzinziruk (37-1, 23 KOs) has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled Sept. 30 rematch with Lukas Konecny with an undisclosed injury.
WBO junior middleweight champion Sergei Dzinziruk takes on official challenger Lukas Konecny September 30th in Brno in what must be the biggest fight ever staged in the Czech Republic. It´s a rematch as well, with Dzinziruk being a close and to some a controversial winner of their first fight back in 2008. Dzinziruk is currently in training in Kiev and says he´s in a great shape and looking forward to the fight. For Konecny this is his big chance to win a world title fight at home.
WBO junior middleweight champ Sergey Dzinziruk might defend the title against mandatory challenger Lukas Konecny, the reigning EBU champ and a close, majority decision loser to Dzinziruk the first time they fought. The tentative date is September 30 in Brno, Czech Republic. The fight has not been officially announced and contracts are not signed. The first fight between these two was a rather controversial affair - in and out of the ropes - with I believe three postponements before they actually got in the ring.
According to the World Boxing Organization (WBO) President, Francisco “Paco” Valcarcel, the organization's longtime titlist Serhiy Dzinziruk (37-1, 23 KOs), the Ukranian Junior Middleweight Champion, has a set date for his next defense. An interim-fight has also been scheduled and the two winners have to face each other in 90 days.
