Voluntary defence in Erfurt

By Per-Ake Persson

EBU superwelterweight champion Isaac Real (10-0-1) will defend the title August 16 in Erfurt (Germany) against "Golden" Jack Culcay (17-1) writes espabox.com. It´s a voluntary defence by Real, who won the title in May in a big upset stopping favored Italian Emanuele Della Rosa in Italy to win the title. Real, from Catalonia, Spain, was expected to make a voluntary defence at home but apparently Sauerland Event offered the champion enough money to make the risky trip to Germany. Culcay is ranked # 3 by the WBA and # 5 by the EBU and while he holds the WBA I/C title he still has a lot to prove if he is make it to a higher level. Headlining the show in Erfurt is Yoan Pablo Hernandez defending the IBF cruiser title against Firat Arslan.
