Mehdi Amar (32-4-2) and Serhyi Demchenko (16-9-2) clash for the vacant EBU 175 lb title in Paris on a MK Event's show. Amar was set to fight then champ Igor Michalkin on this date but then Michalkin tested positive (the case is under appeal so stay tuned for more) for a forbidden substance and was stripped of the title and thus Demchenko, reigning EU ruler, got the chance.

On the same bill EBU superwelter champ Cedric Vitu (44-2) defends the title against mandatory challenger Isaac Real (15-1-1) from Spain.

Superlightweights Franck Petitjean (16-4-3) and Samuele Esposito (21-3) square off for the vacant EU title.
