Aging but teaktough supermiddleweight veteran Lolenga Mock (pictured) take on French champ Nicolas Dion (16-3) in the headliner of Super Brian Nielsen / Mogens Palle Promotion's next edition of Danish Fight Night October 29 at Frederiksberghallerne in Copenhagen.  Mock have headlined every DFN show and is now 5-0 against solid opponents.

Mock-Dion tops a bill of somewhere between ten and twelve fights. One fight is announced and that is superlightweight debutant Enock Poulsen vs Osama Hadifi (11-2) in a highly interesting all Danish matchup.

Hennessy Sports won today's purse bids for the fight for the vacant EBU superlightweight title between Anthony Yigit and Lenny Daws. Hennessy bid 40,000,00 Euro while Sauerland big 33.305,00 Euro. When and where is to be announced.

Sauerland Promotion had in case of a win planned to stage the fight December 9 in Nykoping, Sweden. Yigit would then have created a minor piece of boxing history as he would have been the first Swede to fight for the prestigous European title in Sweden since 1966 when Bosse Hogberg went through hell in 14 rounds of war against Italian great Sandro Mazzinghi before being stopped.

The postponed fight between former WBA interim ruler Vincent Feigenbutz and Mike Keta is now on for December 3 at the Ufgauhalle in Rheinstetten. At stake is the vacant IBF Intercontinental title. This fight was first set for September 21 but at a smaller venue and was postponed due to the high demand for tickets. Keta tunes up this weekend in Hamburg with a four rounder against Yesilat Berkta.

In the co-feature teenage supermiddle Leon Bauer will go for a Youth title.
