On the undercard of Valuev-Holyfield dane Mads Larsen is in a must-win situation. The dane faces italian Roberto Cocco who's a former kickboxer. If Larsen wins he faces IBF 168 lb champ Lucien Bute next and a unification dreamfight with fellow dane Mikkel Kessler is in sight.
Larsen and Cocco at the weigh-in. Larsen is on the left with the heavy tatoo (all SMW world class danish fighters mus apparently have exaggerated tat.'s)
The Bute fight seems ready at least as far as the romanian-canadian is concerned. Larsen sees it a bit different: "Anybody can get a championship fight if they'll do it for free. I still need to finish my negotiations with manager Sauerland but we're closing in."
Larsen is a big fan of Holyfield and got his picture taken next to the great fighter. Larsen feels Holyfield will win BTW.
Larsen vs. Cocco starts at around 21.30 CET and is televised by danish TV2 who's hyping of a showdown with Kessler is way over the top.
