Euro NewsBy Per-Ake Persson Hatton Promotions won today´s purse bids in Rome for Karim Guerfi´s defence of the EBU title against Kazak Zhanat Zhakiyanov with a bid for 21 450,00 Euro. Guerfi vs Zhakiyanov will go ahead later this spring with exact date and site to be announced. Hatton were the sole bidders. The first time around EuroPromo bid 62 000,00 Euro to promote this fight with Hatton bidding 25 696 Euro. EuroProm then set the fight for April 18 in Morocco only for Guerfi to pull out a two weeks ago due to what was announced as internal disputes with his manager and trainer. Whatever the reason Guerfi will now fight a dangerous opponent away from home for a lot less money. ****************************** Queensberry Promotions Ltd will promote the fight for the vacant EBU middleweight title between Billy Joe Saunders and Emanuele Blandamura May 17 in Liverpool. Blandamura got his chance with an upset win over Marcos Nader winning the EU crown in Germany. ****************************** Igor Michalkin (14-1) will now face Mohamed Belkacem (21-6-2) April 11 or May 16 in Berlin with EC promoting the fight. Belkacem, fighting out of Switzerland and only ranked # 18, by the EBU comes in on short notice after Nadjib Mohammedi (34-3) pulled to participate in a IBF eliminator in the US vs Anatolij Dudchenko (19-2). Mohamed lost to Mohammedi in 2012 and Michalkin now appears to have an exellent chance to win a prestigeous title. ****************************** German lightheavy Enrico Koelling (12-0) keeps busy with a fight on the undercard to Braehmer vs Maccarinelli April 5 in Rostock. Koelling face Croatian Mirzet Bajrektarevic (8-1). Enrico won the WBO Youth title last time but have been forced to relinquish the title already after turning 24 late February. ****************************** Bahamian heavyweight veteran Sherman "Tank" Williams returns to Europe to spar with Wladimir Klitschko and then if all goes well he fights on the undercard to Klitschko vs Leapai April 26 in Oberhausen and face New Zealander Joseph Parker.
