Swedish superwelter Benjamin Kalinovic (8-0-0-1) take on experienced Frenchman Franck Harroche Horta (35-13-5) for the vacant WBPF Euro title November 8 in Vasteras (Sweden). Kalinovic turned pro in 2004 and was 2005-06 based in Florida with Buddy McGirt as trainer and promoted by CES. After a contractual dispute Benjamin returned home and have since then struggled to get his career underways In Haroche Horta he face a vastly more experienced fighter and while he has a mixed record it´s loaded with split or majority decisions going the other way on the road.

 

Headlining the show in Vasteras is Mikaela "Destiny" Lauren taking on Magdalena Magdziak Lopes for the vacant WBC female superwelter title.

 

 

Former EU superwelter champ Marcos Nader (18-1-1) is out of professional boxing and has returned to AIBA and the new style of amateur boxing and is looking to qualify to the 2016 Olympics. Nader turned pro with Sauerland Event in 2009 and things went relatively well until Marcos ran into Roberto Santos and after a draw and a close win over the strong Spaniard he lost to Italian Emanuela Blandamura and that ended his career with Sauerland. Nader, who hails from Austria, is the biggest name in European proboxing to return to the amateur ranks.

 

 

Former WBO supermiddle champ Robert Stieglitz (47-4) is heading for Turkey and a training camp near Antalya as he prepares for the showdown against Felix Sturm (39-4-2) November 8 in Stuttgart. With Stieglitz is trainer Dirk Dzemski and stablemate Dominic Boesel. The winner of Stieglitz vs Sturm is likely to get a shot at WBO titleholder Arthur Abraham, who of course must get past Paul Smith on Saturday in Kiel.

 

 

Leonard Bundu (31-0-2) has relinquished the EBU welterweight title to participate in IBF eliminator. The vacant title will be contested between Gianluca Branco (48-3-1) and Rafal Jackiewicz (46-11-2). Jackiewiez thus make a quick return to boxing after leaving the game in August for a career in MMA. The EBU have announced that the date for purse bids expires October 2.
