Newly crowned IBO and WBA interim light heavyweight champion Dominic Boesel (30-1) is now a former EBU title holder.

Official challenger Igor Mkikhalkin will now face the highest ranked available fighter for the vacant title. Mikhalkin, like the man Boesel beat this past weekend in Sven Fornling, is promoted by EC Boxing.

As for Fornling he is now at home in Malmoe, Sweden, resting and will make a decision about his future in about two months.

Niklas Rasanen (14-2-1) returns as been previously reported on the Salo Knockout Night in Salo, Finland, on November 30. As for opponent it will be tough Frenchman David Radeff (9-15-2) and the fight is made at 183 lbs which means that Niklas steps up in weight and David down.

WBC super featherweight champ and Niklas Rasanen´s wife Eva Wahlstrom will appear in a non-title fight but the deal for the defence against Terri Harper is done with date and site to be announced.

It came as surprise at least to this reporter that Anthony Yigit was not a  part of the MTK Golden Contract Tournament when the draw was made yesterday (Nov 19). As to why, well, he was never 100% on board as terms couldn´t be reached but MTK still announced that he was one of the participants. Anthony hopes to fight before the year is out but when, where and against who is not clear.

Turkish heavy Umut Camkiran (12-0) defends the rather obscure EE-EU title on Sunday (November 24) against Bosnian Mirko Tintor (15-3-1) in Istanbul. The EE-EU belt is for members of the EBU outside of the EU - but while the EU title is quite busy the opposite can be said of the EE-EU crown.
