Sauerland Promotion stage a 12-fight bill at the Falconercenter in Copenhagen on Saturday November 29. Of special interest on the undercard is the comeback of Steffen Andersen (5-0). Andersen, now 36, was once one of many talented young fighters to come out of the CIK gym in Copenhagen where the biggest star was Mikkel Kessler and he and Steffen were friends.
As it was, Steffen got in trouble with the law and his professional career ended in 1998 and he was in 2008 sentenced to eight years in prison for his part in a huge armed robbery and is now out on probation. Helping him with his comeback is his old friend from CIK days Mikkel Kessler.
On Saturday Andersen face German Patrick Linkert (4-7-1) in a four-rounder made at cruiser Saturday night. Back in 98 Steffen weighed in at superwelter but he appears to have pumped a lot of iron since then.
