Comments Thread For: Beterbiev: Koelling Doesn't Have The Class To Be a Danger To Me

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Berlin-based part-time sausage seller Enrico Koelling is hoping to write history on Saturday by becoming the first German boxer to win a world title in the United States since Max Schmeling 87 years ago. Koelling juggles his training with stints at a family-run currywurst stall in the heart of Berlin selling sausages to hungry locals.

A few years ago Beterbiev was this hot prospect that seemed 1 or 2 fights away from becoming a hot contender. Now he's fighting a part time sausage dude? What happened?

Beterbiev has done as much as he can, fighting the best willing available contenders to now get a vacant title shot.
Remember since the Ward-Kovalev fights and Ward's decsion making having tied up 3 belts for over a year and Stevenson unwilling to risk his belt, top contender's have been on hold.
Beterbiev has been patiently waiting in the wings, some great fights at LHW to be made in next 12-18 months, hopefully they'll get done.

Kovalev (WBO Champion - soon to be)
Beterbiev (IBF Champion - soon to be)
Bivol (WBA Champion)
Adonis Stevenson (WBC Champion)

Top contenders

Gvozdyk
Badou Jack
Sullivan Barrerra
Anthony Yarde (UK Prospect)

If none of these fight each other in 2018 then i will be very unhappy

he is in a contact dispute with Gym and while arum shouldnt legally be allowed to promote beterbiev for tonight fights it would cost GYM millions and take years to maybe win the battle.

beterbievs contact with gym is up soon. so it's weird to see someone with an exclusive contract be promoted by someone else but GYM is a little guy.
