euro newsby Per-Ake Persson German SES was the sole bidder for EU heavyweight champ Richard Towers’ defence against Francesco Pianeta in today’s purse bids held in Rome. ![]() Richard Towers vs Francesco Pianeta SES bid 33.550,00 EUR and have set January 20 as date for the fight with site to be announced. Pianeta, 28-0-1, held the EU title 08-09 when he was promoted by Sauerland but was forced to relinquish the title when diagnosed with skin cancer. He then left Sauerland for SES in 2011. Towers, 14-0, won the vacant title with a stoppage win of Frenchman Gregory Tony this past summer. *********************************** French jr middle champ Jimmy Colas, 31-9, defends the title against Frederic Serre, 13-7, on Thursday (Nov 29) in Enghien in a highly interesting fight between two fighters with losses in their respective last fights. Serre lost on a controversial cut eye stoppage against Jack Culcay in August in Berlin in a fight for the WBA I/C title. Frederic was badly cut but what had caused the cut appeared to be a matter of dispute ringside that night. The referee ruled the damage had been caused by a punch and Serre was declared a tko loser in a fight that was even and exciting at the time of the stoppage. Colas was downright disappointing in losing to Jackson Osei Bonsu in Belgium in September in a fight for the EU title but was apparently plagued by a foot injury and problems making weight. So on Thursday we see a crossroads fight between two men with a lot to prove. *********************************** 8M Boxen with Halle an der Saale, Germany, as base promotes a show at home December 21 headlined by welter prospect Roman Belaev, 9-0 (8). Belaev impressed in stopping decent Latvian journeyman Semjons Moroseks last time out but is this time in against Franck Haroche Horta, 29-9-5, and the Frenchman is likely to test Belaev to the limit despite an upset second round tko loss to Jimmy Colas last time out. Haroche Horta, a tricky southpaw, have in his short career fought all over Europe at a busy pace with good results and is the best opponent Belaev have faced this far. By Per-Åke Persson ![]() |
