It´s not confirmed by Sauerland but figosport.de broke the news yesterday and Argentinian sources confirm that former WBA lightheavy champ Hugo Hernan Garay will challenge WBO cruiser king Marco Huck July 16 in Germany.
It will be Garay´s fourth fight in Germany where he lost two controversial decisions to Zsolt Erdei in fights for the WBO title and then defended the WBA belt he won later against Juergen Braehmer – in all three fights Garay showed relentless stamina and agression and he was very impressive in his non-stop attacks.
It all fell apart in 2009 when Garay lost to Gabriel Campillo and then got stopped by Chris Henry – losses put down on bad training discipline and problems making 175. Hugo have sinced moved up to cruiser but doesn´t appear to be the same force as he once was.
There is also no official confirmation from Sauerland in regards of Sergey Lyakhovich vs Robert Helenius. Fact is that promoter Chris Meyer would only confirm that they are negotiating with Lyakhovich. However, on that end the deal appears to be done or so is said by Team Lyakhovich. The problem – if any – is instead reportedly that Helenius haven´t signed the contract.
