EURO NEWSBy Per-Ake Persson EBU lightweight champion Emiliano Marsili retained the title Saturday night with a unanimous decision win over Hungarian challenger Gyorgi Miszei, Jr. It was scored 116-113 twice and 118-116. ![]() In the chief support Diego Velardo should have fought Andrea Di Luisa with the Italian 168 lb title at stake but Velardo - with gloves on - suffered what appears to have been a panic attack and eventually pulled out of the fight. **************************** Next up for former EBU welterweight champion Leonard Bundu (31-0-2) is a final IBF eliminator against Canada-based Romanian Jojo Dan (33-2) . Bundu´s promoter Mario Loreni have according to Italian sources signed a deal with Al Haymonto to make the road over there a little smoother. **************************** Veteran welterweights Gianluca Branco (48-3-1) and Rafal Jackiewicz (46-11-2) clash for the vacant EBU title November 22 at a site to be announced in Italy with OPI 2000 promoting. Jackiewicz thus make a quick return to boxing after a very brief career in MMA. As late as in August he was lined up to fight for the IBO belt in Germany vs Rico Mueller but pulled out, had a farewell to boxing fight but is now back. **************************** WBFed superwelter champ Anderson Clayton from Brazil defends the title against Belgian puncher Sasha Yengoyan (29-1-1) October 3 in Gent (Belgium) on a show put on by Claude Van Den Heede. Clayton was an unlikely champion to begin with but stopped Frenchman Sebastien Madani and then salvaged a draw in a rematch and this is his third defence. In supporting bouts cruiserweight prospects Bilal Laggoune (16-0-1) and Ryad Merhy (9-0) continue their respective buildups. Laggoune face Frenchman Jeremy Ouanna (14-9) while Mery is in against Cedric Kalonji (8-2). **************************** Nothing is official or confirmed but WBA regular lightheavy champion Juergen Braehmer is rumored to be defending the title December 6 with site to be determined but Leipzig have been mentioned. If correct, this is the final show for Sauerland Event and ARD under the current contract. **************************** EPBC middleweight champion Mike Gjetan Keta defends the title in Bulgiza (Albania) against Russian Marat Khuzeev (21-9). Keta fights out of Munich (Germany) but Bulgiza is where he was born and the homecoming show is promoted by his older brother Jonny. **************************** WBFed supermiddle ruler Bernard Donfack (20-11-3) defends the title against Christian Pawlak (20-5-1) October 11 in Saarbruecken (Germany).
