The undefeated cruiserweight Hamza Hussein meets the veteran Niklas Rasanen in the main event of a Danish Fight Night promotion on March 8 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Their contest at the Scandic Hotel represents the 8-0 Hussein’s first true test. Finland’s Rasanen, who is 38 years old and 17-3-1, has been fighting as a professional since 2013. In 2016 he fought for the European super-middleweight title.
Hussein, 25 years old and from Denmark, stopped Camilo Castagno in four rounds in November.
The heavyweights Mathias Hansen (6-0) Brage Lange (4-0) and Nicolas Piddubbny (1-0) will all feature on the undercard.
