Anthony Yigit´s next fight will be against Andrei Sudas at the Nordic Fight Night in Albertslund. The highly-rated 22-year-old (5-0-1, 1 KO) can´t wait to bounce back from the first minor disappointment of his career. In Kolding, only one judge had him ahead against Tony Pace, with the other two scoring the bout a draw. “I thought I had done enough to win the fight,” Yigit said. “But I will of course respect the decision and learn from my mistakes. I know what I am capable of doing inside the ring and plan to set the record straight as soon as possible. I´ll jump back on the horse and carry on.” Said promoter Nisse Sauerland: “Anthony is a huge talent, a Swedish Olympian with incredible skills. The draw will not harm his career at all. He will get the chance to make up for it straight away. He knows what he has to do differently next time out. Can he dig it? Yes he can!

Kolding, Denmark - Swedish female super lightweight Klara Svensson, 11-0, outscored Bulgarian Milena Koleva, 5-5-1, over eight two minute rounds. It was scored 80-71, 77-75 and 77-74. Koleva had a point deducted in the fifth but it was difficult to detect for what. Svensson had big problems with her much smaller opponent but stronger down the stretch and won a close, but deserved win. Deion Jumah, 3-0, opened SPAG´s show at the Tre-For-Arena with a unanimous decision after six rounds over Czech fighter Jiri Svacina, 12-11. Jumah won on scores of 60-54 twice and 59-54 but never had Svacina, a capable, tricky performer, in any kind of trouble.

Aarhus, Denmark - SPAG´s (Sauerland Promotion AG) show at the NRGi Arena began with an all Danish matchup at cruiserweight between Peter Gram and Shahriyar Wiessi, both 1-0, coming in. Wiessi, the better boxer, appeared to be heading for win after an exciting, hard-fought fight when he nailed Gram in the fourth and final round with two good right handers but then Gram clipped Wiessi with a short right and Wiessi went down in what looked to be a flash knockdown. The rejuvenated Gram opened up and scored with another right and this time Shahriyar went down hard and it was stopped at 2.11.
