World class kickboxing superstar Tyrone Spong is eyeing a pro boxing debut as early as March 6 at Bruno Gerkhe Halle in Berlin, Germany. Established heavyweight contender Alexander Ustinov (30-1, 21 KOs) and German/Turkish hard-luck journeyman Ozcan Cetinkaya (21-9-2, 14 KOs) are rumoured amongst the possible names of opponents.
29-year old Spong, originally from Paramaribo, Suriname, but representing Netherlands and fighting out of Boca Raton, FL, USA, is a multi-time multi-title kickboxing champion with a present record of 74-7-1, 46 KOs, and wins over such stars as Zabit Samedov, Ray Sefo and Remy Bonjasky. He is also 2-0, with 2 KOs, in MMA. He last fought nearly a year ago and suffered a gross injury against Gokhan Saki.
The show in Berlin is promoted by former fringe cruiserweight contender Alexander Alekseev. It’ll feature two female WBC title match-ups and a cruiserweight showdown between 19-0 Damir Beljo of Bosnia and 14-4, 14 KOs, Malik Kurzweil, as well as some other attractions.
