Magee Has No Fear of Facing Larsen in Denmark

By Terence Dooley

Belfast’s Brian Magee, 34, is set to fight Mad Larsen for the vacant European super-middleweight title in Aarhus, Denmark on January the 30th and the former British and IBO kingpin aims to come back home with the belt.

Magee, 32-3-1 (22), has been inactive in recent times; however, his manager, Pat Magee, believes that Brian can snatch the belt from under Mad’s nose come January.  “He has no fears about going to Larsen's home town,” claimed Magee.  “Brian has been in training for the past four weeks and is already sparring.  He hasn't boxed in 12 months and he is itching to get back in the ring.”

Brian was stopped in eleven rounds by Carl Froch back in 2006 but he regrouped well and grabbed the British 168lb title with a win over Stevie Maguire in December of 2008.  A win over Mads would set him up for bigger fights down the line and would be a fine way to put a frustrating 2009 behind him; Brian lost his British title due to injury and then had to pull out off a bout with then-champion Tony Quigley due to these injuries.
