Italian promotional firm OPI 2000 have added two new fighters to their stable, by completing deals to pick up super middleweight Hadillah Mohoumadi (19-3-1) and heavyweight contender Carlos Takam (32-2-1).

Mohoumadi holds the EBU title and will make a voluntary defense on October 15 against an opponent to be announced with OPI 2000 promoting.

The 34-year-old Takam has been carefully matched over the years but entered the scene in 2014 with a win over Tony Thompson, an HBO televised draw with Mike Perez and a loss to WBC Silver champion Alexander Povetkin as a result. Last time out he knocked out British veteran Michael Sprott.
