Francesco Pianeta (16-0, 10 KOs) is looking for the 17th win in as many fights when he takes on Scott Gammer for the vacant EU heavyweight title on August 30. The duo will come face-to-face in Berlin on the undercard of Nikolai Valuev´s WBA heavyweight title fight against John Ruiz. After winning the WBC youth heavyweight title with a third-round KO victory over Donnell Wiggins in February, the 23-year-old stopped Michael Marrone in the second round three months later. “Winning the WBC youth title has given me a huge confidence boost,” Pianeta said. “Stopping Marrone was also very important. But now all that matters is the fight against Gammer. I am only looking ahead. The EU belt means a lot to me. I would not just add another title but also make a huge step in the European rankings. It would get me much closer to my goal of becoming European champion. That is why I really want to defeat Gammer.”
