Euro NewsBy Per-Ake Persson EBU heavyweight champ Dereck Chisora, 18-4, makes a voluntary defence of the title November 30 in London and takes on Arnold Gjergjej, who hails from Kosova but fights out of Switzerland. ![]() Dereck Chisora vs Arnold Gjergjej Gjergjej, 20-0, is ranked # 20 by the EBU and don´t let the record fool you. Arnold isn´t bad at all is still relatively untested and Chisora is a big favourite in this one. ******************** All was set for EBU welter champ Leonard Bundu to take on Gianluca Branco December 21 but now all parties involved have agreed on letting Bundu make a voluntary defence of the title December 14 in London against Lee Purdy. The winner of Bundu vs Purdy have agreed on fighting Branco next. ******************** Lightweight Edis Tatli, 21-0, headlines P 3 Boxing´s show at the Baroni Arena in Espoo (Finland) December 7 and take on Argentinian Matias Ezequiel "Tsunami" Gomez. The WBA have yet to approve it as a defence of Tatli´s WBA I/C title. In the chief support middleweight Niko Jokinen, 21-1, again take on Lithuanian Virgilijus Stapuliones. Stapuliones won the the first fight so Jokinen is at the crossroads in this one. Welter Jussi Koivula, 14-1-1, is in against Dutchman Hassan Ait-Bassou, 13-5. The undercard features Eemeli Katajisto, Niklas Rasanen and the comeback of reigning EBU female superfeather champ Eva Wahlstrom. ******************** Welters Ayoub Nefzi and Karlo Tabaghua headline the annual show in Izegem (Belgium) November 1. For Tabaghua, from the Georgian Republic for a few years now based in Sweden, it´s the first fight of the year and he´s now looking to fight out of Belgium and is managed by Archil Katamadze and Renald De Vulder. ******************** Alexander Petkovic, once a teenage prospect with Universum, is back as a self-promoted heavyweight. Still only 33 Petkovic looked downright shot when his career with Universum ended in 2006 at the hands of Frenchman Kamel Amrane. Petkovic have since opened a gym in Munich and returned as a heavyweight with some success even if it must be said it´s been against soft opponents. On November 1 in Dachau Petkovic headlines his own show billed as "Petko´s Fight Gala" and take on Tanzanian Chupaki Chipindi. In November of 2003 Petkovic came very close to upsetting then WBO cruiser king Johnny Nelson but lost a majority decision. Per-Åke Persson ![]() |
