Finnish Butterbean vs Brixton Bomber

By  Per-Ake Persson

The Finnish Butterbean, [Janne Katajisto], 10-0-1, square off against the Brixton Bomber, [Danny Williams], 44-11, September 8 in Vasa, Finland, in a fight scheduled for eight. At stake is the Baltic Boxing Union title held by Katajisto. Williams is licensed in Latvia and thus eligible to fight for this title.
 
 
Katajisto vs Williams is promoted by Caramelito Promotions and The Brixton Bomber is the biggest name yet to come to Vasa.
 
Katajisto does hold wins in the amateurs against the Nordic Nightmare, Robert Helenius, but also lost several tims to Robert. Janne turned pro after a long amateur career in 2009 and besides the BBU title he´s also national champion.

Williams´ career in continental Europe have had its up and downs and he was last seen in Budapest pulling out at the last moment before stepping into the ring against Zoltan Petranyi due to a cut eye after he had fallen in the bathroom. But he also showed in his stoppage loss to Manuel Charr that there is a lot left in the man who once beat Mike Tyson.
