EC Boxing´s Swedish heavyweight prospect Adrian Granat moved to 11-0 (10KOs) when he stopped Russian giant Evgeny Orlov in the 2nd round of their scheduled eight-round affair Friday night at Cirque d´Hiver in Paris.
Orlov (15-3-1) was not in top shape as he weighed in at well over 300 lbs but is still a difficult man to stop. The 6'9" boxer snaps a three-fight win streak with the stoppage loss.
Granat is now set to face another big heavyweight in Austrian Samir Kurtagic (12-8) on March 12, this time over eight n Levallois.
Headlining that show will be stablemate and reigning EBU lightheavy chamo Igor Michalkin (17-1) who defends the title against Patrick Bois (14-4-1). Bois steps in for Medhi Amar (32-4-2), who is sidelined with injury but is pencilled in to fight Michalkin April 30.
Granat was in the ring four times in 2015. His last fight was in December when he knocked out British veteran Michael Sprott in one round. In October he took out veteran Darnell Wilson in two rounds and needed three rounds for Konstantin Airich in August.
