I´m always in training and had a K 1 fight last year and a MMA fight in the year before that. But let´s face it boxing is a young man´s sport and for me this is my final fight. Saleta kept mixing kickboxing with boxing throughout his long career where he turned pro back in 91 as a cruiser. He won the EBU heavyweight title in 2002 by stopping German star Luan Krasniqi in a huge upset but lost the title to Sinan Samil Sam and was then stopped in one by Krasniqi in a rematch. Saleta and Golota know each other well having sparred together on a few occasions and have been scheduled to fight twice before but it fell through when Golota pulled out due to injuries. -It will be fun, says Saleta, the money counts too but I do it mainly for the fun of it and I am convinced I can win. ******************** Italian Emanuele Della Rosa, 31-1, WBC # 4 and WBC Int´l ruler has been appointed official challenger for EBU jr middle champ Sergey Rabchenko, 22-0, WBC # 3. -This should be an exellent contest, says Rabchenko´s manager Philippe Fondu, and hopefully the winner can aim at the WBC world title. Rabchenko is promoted by Hatton Promotions while Della Rosa is with OPI 2000. ******************** EU middleweight champ Roberto "El Tigre de Benidorm" Santos, 17-7-3-1, will again defend the title against Austrian Marcos Nader, 16-0-1. The two drew last time out even though most felt Nader had nicked it but Santos´ strong finish saved the title for him. This will be Santos´ fourth fight in a row against a Sauerland fighter and this far he´s 1-0-2. Sauerland will stage Santos-Nader II in Austria on a date to be announced. ******************** Danish veteran Lolenga Mock is again in Germany and is sparring with former WBA super middleweight champ Felix Sturm, who is in training for his eliminator against Sam Soliman February 1 in Duesseldorf. Mock has been a steady fixture in the Sturm camps for the last few years but what´s new is that Lolenga also will get a fight on the undercard. Lolenga was last seen in the ring in 2011 when he lost a ten round decision to Dawid Kostecki in Poland. By Per-Åke Persson ![]() |
