Danish veteran Lolenga Mock, 8-0 in the last 18 months, faces Englishman Luke Blackledge (23-3-2 ) on June 17 in Aarhus, Denmark in a non-title ten rounder made at super middleweight.
Blackledge is well known to Danish fans as he stopped Mads Larsen and then lost a close call to Erik Skoglund. Blackledge has accepted the fight on three weeks notice but comes in fresh from sparring with WBA champ Tyron Zeuge.
Blackledge replace Gilbert Lenin Castillo, who has pulled out due to problems making the weight. The Aarhus bill is topped by Jonas Madsen vs Ferenc Albert in a IBF Youth title fight but Mock-Blackledge shapes up as fight of the night.
IBF Youth super middleweight champ, 18-year old Leon Bauer (11-0) defends the title July 15 in Ludwigshafen on a Team Sauerland promotion. Opponent is to be announced. Bauer won the title last year and this his second defence.

After several postponements and delays it appears now to be all set for EBU bantamweight champion Karim Guerfi (25-3) to defend the title against Belgian challenger Stephane Jamoye (32-7) July 1 in Manosque.
This is the second meeting with Guerfi winning a close, majority decision the first time around. The rematch have been on and off for almost a year by now thanks to various promotional issues and injuries.
