Mateusz Masternak (31-1, 23 KOs) is back in action on April 12th at the Blue Water Dokken in Esbjerg, Denmark. The Polish cruiserweight will face Stjepan Vugdelija (8-2, 7 KOs) in an eight round contest at Team Sauerland’s Nordic Fight Night show.
‘’The Master’’ returns having disposed of Sandro Siproshvili inside four rounds in February. The former European champion will look to continue in this upwards trajectory as he attempts to battle his way into world title contention.
Masternak is the latest addition to an action packed card in Esbjerg, featuring British heavyweight David Price, middleweight contender Andy Lee and EU Light Heavyweight Champion Erik Skoglund, alongside some of the rising stars of Scandinavian boxing. Tickets are available at billetten.dk.
As in September, I once again ran out of gas in the 10th & 11th championship rounds of October & November with this column, but I recovered to complete them and will unleash a few more flurries to close out the 12th and final round.
In the first week of October, Hassan N’Dam won a UD over Curtis Stevens in an eliminator for the right to challenge Jermaine Taylor who defeated aging Sam Soliman to regain the IBF Middleweight title. How Taylor even earned this title shot is another story altogether, but it is all irrelevant as he is now the champion. However he will not have too much time to savor his victory as he has assault and battery charges pending against him and an upcoming court fight that may turn out to be the toughest fight of his life, just when things started to look up for him in boxing, we wish him luck.
