Two weeks ago he returned to Hamburg, Germany, where he nowaday lives, from Russia. Adrian was at a trainging camp in Chekhov for 3,5 weeks and made sparring with Alexander Povetkin. Adrian is 2 m tall and he is not impressed of Povetkin even if Sascha is a good boxer. He is small says Adrian and has experience, can hit well, but not impressed even if Granat enjoyed the camp.

Adrian Granat is a Swedish Viking and has no fear to get into the ring against Sascha.

The Swedish Dynamite hopes to get a title fight in the end of this year or in the beginning of the next year. Maybe it will be an European Championship. Granat finds Pulev is a good boxer, but even here Adrian shows self-confidence and telling he thinks he is a better boxer then Pulev.

Granat had been given an offer to fight Michael Wallish, but has not heard anything. He offered to fight without any purse, to fight for free. Still he has not heard anything and he doesn´t believe this bout will happen.

He is hungry of fighting better boxers, better names, but does even not shouting out he is the best in the world. Yet. At the question about fighting David Haye he tells that it will be too early in his career. Haye is boxing on a higher level as himself he tells. He needs more time before he will be ready for the top ten boxers. Adrian says that even if his self-confidence is good he is even looking realisticly at the things. Adrian means that at the level of top 20-30 boxers is what he can perform.

At 04.06.2016 we will see Adrian fighting the experienced Bolivian boxer Saul Farah.

To be known is that Adrian was acting sparringpartner for Wladimir Klitschko as well as Francesco Pianeta. At  the gym in Hamburg he is even doing sparring with Ruslan Chagaev.
