Euro NewsBy Per-Ake Persson Professional boxing is coming back in Norway after the recent change of government. Proboxing has been prohibited in Norway since January 1 1981. The exact details are to be worked out but officials in the Norwegian Boxing Federation tells media that the first profight make take place as early as in April 2014. However, amateur organization AIBA where the Norwegian Federation is a member might have a say on who they want to fight professionally. Norway have one big star and that is WBA, WBC and WBO female welter queen Cecilia Braekhus (pictured), who is promoted by Team Sauerland. ![]() ******************** Polish Babilon Promotions moves underground with their Wojak Boxing Night in Wieliczka October 19.

Cruiser Krzystof Glowacki, 19-0, face faded veteran Richard Hall, 30-13. Hall is well remembered in Poland though for his two wars with then WBO lightheavy king Dariusz Michalczewski. Richard got stopped both times but was very close to winning as as he pounded the champ from pillar to post early in their fights only to fade. ******************** French lightheavy champ Patrick Bois, 10-1-1, defends the title against vastly more experienced Nadjib Mohammedi, 32-3, tomorrow in Vrigne-aux-Bois.

Mohammedi holds the very secret WBA Continental title as well and will defend it if all goes to plan November 9. However, the fight against Bois won´t be easy. ******************** WBFed heavy champ Carlos Takam, 28-1, defends the title against Argentinian Raphael Zumbrano, 33-6-1-1, October 17 in Sarcelles (France).
