October 28 in Nykoping

By Per-Ake Persson

IBF # 3, EBU # 1, WBC # 9, WBO # 5 and WBA # 15 lightheavy Erik Skoglund (25-0) take on Austrian Timy Shala (21-1-1, EBU # 18) October 28 in Nykoping (Sweden) writes sn.se in the headliner of a Sauerland promotion. The fight will be a twelve rounder and is thus under the special Swedish Martial Arts Law and require special permission from the Martial Arts Delegation so it´s not yet 100% on and it´s not announced by Sauerland yet.

Skoglund have been World rated for some time now and do have some good wins but have never fought a genuine contender and in Shala he face an opponent who holds a decent win over touch Czech Tomas Adamek and a loss against current WBO # 1 Dominic Boesel but not much else.
