Euro News: Robin Krasniqi, Felix Sturm, Ballesta vs. Mendy, More

Former WBA Interim and IBO light heavyweight champion Robin Krasniqi (51-7) returns to action on February 25 in Munich against Belgian Timor Nikarkhoev (26-4).

Krasniqi has been out of the ring since losing his titles to Dominic Boesel on a close decision. Team Krasniqi then fought a long battle in trying to get the decision reversed but to no avail.

Krasnigi is now trained by former world champ Juergen Braehmer, who actually stopped his adept when they fought back in 2015.

DAZN makes its German debut on February 18 when they show 44-year old former world champ Felix Sturm (42-6-3) taking on Sukru Altay (15-2) on a show at the Porsche Arena in Stuttgart.

Later the same evening DAZN switches to the show in Nottingham where Leigh Wood meets Mauricio Lara.

Local heavyweight Mait Metsis (0-7) is in against no other than Danny Williams in Tallinn (Estonia) tomorrow night. The 49-year old Williams record as of right now is a matter of dispute as some fights aren’t recognized by BoxRec.

On the undercard Finnish super middleweight prospect Ivan Perala (4-0) fights Georgian Tristan Khizanishvili while Swedish super middle Adam Belalia (5-0) is off the bill as a suitable opponent couldn’t be found.

Super lightweight Bastien Ballesta (25-0-1) defends the IBF International title on May 11 in Castellau-le-Nez against veteran and former EBU lightweight champ Yvan Mendy (47-6-1).

The 37-year old Mendy lost the EBU title in his last fight to Denys Berinchuk and it must be said looked a bit faded.
