OPI 2000 EUROPEAN PROMOTER OF THE YEARPress Release Milano, 21st May 2015 – On June 6, in Paris (France), the European Boxing Union will give its most prestigious award to OPI 2000. The Italian promotional company led by Salvatore Cherchi will receive the “Promoter of the year” award for promoting seven fights for the European title in 12 months. From June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015 OPI 2000 promoted EBU lightweight champion Emiliano Marsili (three times), EBU super lightweight champion Michele Di Rocco (twice), the fight between Gianluca Branco and Rafal Jackiewicz for the vacant EBU welterweight title and the one between Anita Torti and Maiva Hamadouche for the vacant female EBU lightweight crown.

I split this award with my son Alessandro, whose promotional company (Principe Boxing Events) is bringing new life to boxing in Milan. He co-promoted with me the Di Rocco’s fights.” This is the sixth time that OPI 2000 gets the award: Cherchi won it in 2002, 2007, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Salvatore Cherchi started working in the boxing business in the 1970s for Hall of Fame promoter Umberto Branchini, then in 1982 he founded OPI 82 with Giovanni Branchini (Umberto’s son). 18 years later, Cherchi created his own company naming it OPI 2000. |
