EBU welterweight champion Leonard Bundu, 27-0-2, defends the title on December 1 in Rezzato, Italy, against French veteran Ismael El Massoudi, 37-4. El Massoudi won the WBA interim title last year but was, for reasons unknown, not defending the title until July of this year - and then he was knocked out in two by Argentinian Diego Chaves. For Bundu, promoted by Loreni Boxe, it´s the third defence of the title he won last year.
