Nov 19, 2014 • 4:55 AM ET
Patrick Nielsen (22-1, 11 KOs) will now have a new challenge awaiting him when he makes his ring return on December 13 at the Albertslund MusikTeatret in Copenhagen.
Polish Lukasz Wawrzyczek (20-3-2, 3 KOs) replaces German Ronny Mittag (22-1-1, 9 KOs) as the Danish middleweight’s opponent.
"It can be frustrating when an opponent pulls out. But luckily there is not that much difference between the two, so I do not see it as a big problem," said Nielsen.
"Lukaskz is an experienced boxer with a sound record list, but still a guy I have to beat to show that I'm back."
"Regardless of who's in the ring with me, it can’t be fun for the opponent with the shape I'm in. I'm hungry to end the year in style!"
Said promoter Nisse Sauerland: ‘’Wawrzyczek is a tough opponent who will look to make life difficult for Patrick. He will need to turn up 100% prepared and 100% focused. This is not a fight Patrick can afford to lose.’’
Parick Nielsen co-headlines the show at the Albertslund MusikTeatret with younger brother Micki, who faces former Mikkel Kessler opponent Gusmyr Perdomo, while Swedish light heavyweight Erik Skoglund takes on former world champion Glen Johnson.
