Leonard Bundu´s, 28-0-2, defence of the EBU welterweight title against Pole Rafael Jackiewicz, 42-10-2, will go ahead April 6 in Rome.

Boxe Loreni, headed by Mario Loreni, wanted to do the fight in Florence but the venue wasn´t available and TV insisted on April 6 as date and thus the fight landed in Rome and Bundu lost hometown advantage.
