WBO jr middle champ Sergey Dzinziruk might defend the title against mandatory challenger Lukas Konecny, reigning EBU champ and a close, majority decision loser to Dzinziruk the first time they fought, September 30 in Brno, Czech Republic. The fight is not officially announced and contracts are not signed. The first fight between these two was a rather controversial affair – in and out of the ropes – with I believe three postponements before they actually got in the ring. The oft postponed and once cancelled fight between jr welters Giuseppe Lauri and Denis “Djingis Khan” Shafikov for the vacant EBU title appears to be headed for Helsinki September 15. Also on this P 3 Boxing show is a battle for the vacant EU cruiser crown between Juho Haapoja and Frenchman Faisal Ibnal Arrami. Lauri vs Shafikov was first set for Italy but after a few postponements OPI 2000 cancelled the show and P 3 Boxing took over. This date is not confirmed by P 3 Boxing but it is what they have communicated to the EBU. WBA regular middleweight champ Gennadyi Golovkin will defend the title September 17 in Almaty, Kazachstan. The opponent was set, agreements were made but the contract have not yet been signed and the deadline is running out so we have to wait with announcing it. Sauerland have communicated to media in Denmark that “a deal is close” for Mikkel Kessler to take on WBO king Robert Stieglitz for some time now. Yesterday it was even claimed that there was a deal but Sauerland later announced that this was not correct. Stieglitz is promoted by SES. Michele Aboro, one of the best female fighters in history if not the best, is now training fighters in Shanghai, China. Aboro is from the UK, but fought for Universum in Germany during her professional career while living in the Netherlands.
