MONFATFAVET, France -- Frenchman Christophe Tendil, last seen getting knocked out by Amin Asikainen for the EU 160 lb title, and Russian by way of Spain Sergey Kharchenko clash for the vacant IBC supermiddle title January 25 in Montfavet, France.
Kharchenko looked very unlucky losing to highly ranked German Danilo Haussler this past fall.
Hungarian jr middle Attila Kovacs will headline Pro Box Promotion´s debut January 20 in Papa but the IBO title will apparently not be on the line. In the chief support lightheavy Tamas Popovics faces Macedonian Sasha Mitrevski. At supermiddle Joszef Nagy is in against German Bernard Donfack.
Croatian heavy Marío Preskar, signed to Don King Productions, have been added to the huge undercard of Valuev vs McCline January 20 in Basel. Preskar squares off against Italian Paolo Ferrara. Jr middle Dominik Britsch will get a stern test from Frenchman Frank Harroche Horta.
An undercard fight to Halmich vs Kempf January 13 in Halle/Saale looks pretty interesting: heavyweight Gbenga Oloukun, who up until now have been pretty well protected, take on dangerous Russian Alexei Varakin.
German lightheavy Kai Kurzawa will be be featured on Elite Box Promotion´s show in Riga, Latvia, March 10 as well. Kurzawa is the co-challenger for the vacant EU title along with Frenchman Mohammed Bennema.
"The Swedish Beauty", 40-year old Aasa Sandell takes on Trinidadian Scroller Carrington January 27 in Gothenburg. Carrington was stopped by Natascha Ragosina in three in November in Duesseldorf and is simply so bad you have to see it to believe it.
