Boxers from Greece or with Greek roots is nothing new but of lately there’s been professional boxing shows staged in Greece and that is something new.

 

The man behind most of the promotions is Stefanos Konstantinides and the main fighters are cruiserweight Tasos Berdelis (4-0) and 1-0 middleweight Konstantinos Petropoulus, who turned pro on a show this past weekend in Glyfada, on the outskirts of Athens.

The Greek audience is still more into kickboxing but Konstantinides and his team are slowly building an audience for professional boxing.

 

 

Argentinian supermiddle Luciano "La Roca" Cuello (34-3) returns to Spain after being away for five years and take on Romanian Rafael Chiruta (8-34) at the Hotel Asador de Enrique in Madrid on a Maravilla Box Promotion. Cuello is ranked # 11 by the WBC and given the records this may look like a mismatch but the wild punching Chiruta previously upset Ruben Varon - then in line for a shot at the EBU title. Cuello’s losses have been to Canelo Alvarez, Julio Cesar Chaves, Jr, and Willie Nelson.

 

 

Bosnian heavyweight Adnan Redzovic didn´t just get knocked out by Arnold Gjergjaj in a fight for the EE-EU title October 4 in Switzerland. He also tested positive for drostanolone and is in accordance with the WADA regulations suspended for two years.
