Euro News: Imre Szello, Lauren vs. Svensson Card, Pierre Madsen

By Per Ake Persson

September 17 in Hungary cruiserweight Imre Szello will go for the vacant WBO European title against an opponent to be announced. The previous title holder, Oleksander Usyk, challenge for the WBO World title the same night in Poland against Krzystof Glowacki. On the co-feature on this Felix Promotion light heavyweight Richard Baranyi will fight TBA for the same title.

The Martial Arts Delegation in Sweden approved to all fights on the Winner Takes It All show September 10 in Stockholm - there were all in all six applications for fights over the standard 12-minute distance.

Of special note is that the heavyweight fight between Dereck Chisora and Drazan Janjanin was regarded as "evenly matched" and I´m sure there aren´t many with knowledge of the game that would approve on that.

As usual MAD was split in its decision with the Medical officer saying no all fights but was overruled by the other members. Mikaela Lauren vs Klara Svensson headline over 10x2 with welterweight Anthony "Can You Dig It" Yigit taking on Mexican Armando Robles over 10x3.

Super Brian Nielsen and Mogens Palle Promotion begin the new season of Danish Fight Nights September 16 with an eleven-fight show at Fredriksberghallerne in Copenhagen. Topping the bill is super middleweight veteran Lolenga "the Dane Mock", who is in against tough American Derrick Findley (24-20-1). Mock have headlined the previous four DFN shows and gone 4-0 against good opponents. Findlry have fought just about everyone at super middleweight and light heavyweight.

Heavyweight prospect Pierre Madsen (2-0) face experienced Georgian Shalva Jomardashvili (boxrec gives record as 47-16-2). Madsen is currently sparring with no other than Sherman "Tank" Williams and the fight against Jomardashvili might be easier than sparring with Williams.
