Instead of organizing the boxing evening in the Maritim Hotel as “Las Vegas in Magdeburg”, it will be more of a “Silent Night” for SES on Saturday.
Magdeburg l Normally the boxing fans would look forward to the public training this afternoon. But this traditional appointment before an SES boxing evening has been canceled due to the corona pandemic, as has the official weighing on the day before the fights. And of course there will be no spectators at the ring at the Maritim Hotel on Saturday. So there is no question of the famous motto “Las Vegas in Magdeburg”.
Steinforth: The boxers need these fights
Financially, the Magdeburg boxing stable cannot give itself an early Christmas present. SES promoter Ulf Steinforth: “Due to the live broadcast on MDR and our partners, the evening comes down to plus-minus-zero.” However, Steinforth never thought of canceling the event again due to the further tightening of the corona restrictions. “Of course we all want a different framework. But this evening is very important for the further development of our boxers. We can’t lock up, send everyone home and meet again at some point. Careers in sport are limited in time. And the boys need combat experience and cannot lose a whole year. “
Cruiserweight Roman Fress in the main fight
In the main fight (from 11.20 p.m. live on MDR), cruiserweight Roman Fress will step into the ring and will defend his title in the fight for the German championship against Erdogan Kadrija from Hamburg. So far, the protégé of ex-world champion Robert Stieglitz has won all eleven professional fights, six of them by knockout. The 26-year-old wants to climb the rankings with another victory in order to fulfill his dream of world championship title.
Dzemskis are also there
Light heavyweight Tom Dzemski also wants to defend his title as IBF junior world champion. Dirk Dzemski’s son has to deal with the Berlin Jihad Nasif. European champion Nina Meinke was only once in the ring this year and is therefore very happy to have another fight. The opponent is the Italian Angela Cannizzaro. However, it’s not about defending your EM belt. Double junior world champion (WBO and WBC) Jurgen Uldedaj will also contest a build-up fight on Saturday. The boxing evening will begin with SES newcomer Artur Henrik, who will contest his third professional fight in the middleweight division. Originally, Pablo Hernandez was also planned. But the heavyweight is sick.
