Rimer Boxe has announced a fight between light heavweights Gabriel Campillo (20-3, 7KOs), the former WBA champ, in against tough Russian Dmitry Sukhotsky (16-1, 11KOs) for April 15 on their big show in Madrid. It´s a non-title fight and a fine matchup.
Rimer Boxe is looking to have former WBA light heavyweight champ Gabriel Campillo in an interim title fight on April 15 in Leganes. Spanish press writes that either Hungarian Zsolt Erdei or Ukrainian Vyacheslav Uzelkov could be the opponent. Campillo was first set to take on Erdei March 12 in the US in what was thought to be for the WBA "regular" title, but that fell apart when the Beibut Shumenov vs Juergen Braehmer fight for the WBA and WBO titles collapsed when Braehmer pulled out. The winner there would have been crowned super champ and that would have left the "standard" title vacant. As it stands now, Rimer will have to settle for an interim title.
Danish super middleweight champion Rudy Markussen is injured and off Sauerland´s show in Herning, Denmark on February 12.

Middleweight Patrick Nielsen headlines in his first six rounder over three minute rounds and face Eric Avlastimov. Both men are unbeaten but over relatively moderate opponents, which is especially true for Avlastimov.
