Lightweight veteran Justin Juuko (42-9, 29KOs) is on the hunt for a European title. After winning his third consecutive bout of the year on New Year's Eve at the Tropic Inn Hotel in Uganda, Juuko told reporters that he wants to target a European lightweight title before making his way back to America.

Juuko battered Deo Njiku (4-2, 3KOs) over six rounds to force Njiku's corner to throw in the towel before the seventh. Juuko returned to the ring at the start of 2007 after a two-year layoff.

He's fought and lost to a who's who of past and current lightweights, including Floyd Mayweather Jr., Diego Corrales and Mcihael Gomez, wants to make one final run at age 35.
