Erik Skoglund has signed a new long-term contract with Team Sauerland. The Swedish light-heavyweight (14-0, 8 KOs) has put pen to paper following an impressive 2012 in which he clinched 7 victories, including 5 KOs.
“It´s great to be part of Europe´s biggest and most successful boxing team,” Skoglund said. “For a determined youngster, there is no better place to be. Team Sauerland have built me up from the moment I turned professional. I have learned so much from the work with my coach Karsten Roewer and I have benefited greatly from the very competitive atmosphere in training with all the other Team Sauerland fighters. If I keep working hard, the future looks bright, especially with the long-term TV contracts with Viasat, which will hopefully lift boxing to a whole new level in Sweden.”
Promoter Nisse Sauerland sees big things in the future for the unbeaten 21-year-old. “2012 was a defining year for Erik,” he said. “He has improved greatly and developed really well under the guidance of Karsten Roewer. The Nordic Fight Night series has been a huge hit, and Erik is certainly talented and charismatic enough to raise the profile of boxing in Sweden. He has lived up to his billing as the biggest Swedish talent in a long time and I can see him challenging for a title soon.”
Skoglund will be back in action on February 9 as part of Team Sauerland’s Nordic Fight Night series at Blue Water Dokken in Esbjerg, Denmark. In the main event of the evening, Danish star Patrick Nielsen (17-0, 8 KOs) will make the third defence of his WBA Intercontinental Middleweight Title against Patrick Mendy (14-5, 1 KO). Norwegian Featherweight Andreas Evensen (17-2-1, 6 KOs) will also be challenging European Champion Alexander Miskirtchian (21-2-1, 7 KOs).

Frankie Gavin says he’s ready to destroy ahead of his West Midlands blockbuster derby against Jason Welborn on Friday 18th January. The unbeaten Birmingham star makes the first defence of his British Welterweight title at a sold-out Walsall Town Hall, live and exclusive on BoxNation, (Sky Ch. 437, Virgin Ch. 546).
Midlands Area champ Welborn from Tividale has won three of his last four fights by stoppage, but Gavin, still Britain’s only ever World amateur champion, is confident he’ll do a number on his rival.
„I’m in the best shape of my life, I’m fitter than a butcher’s dog and I can’t wait for next Friday night,“ Said Gavin.
„I’ve worked my arse off in the gym with my trainer Tom Chaney and we’ve had the best training camp so far to prepare for this fight. I feel I’ve improved a lot since the Junior Witter fight last November and he was probably the most awkward opponent I could have faced, but I well beat him,“
„Welborn’s style will suite me down to the ground, he comes forward and likes to have a tear-up, he’ll get destroyed against me when he does that. I’ll be hitting him with so many angles and combinations that he’ll be taken apart,“
Providing Gavin gets past Welborn, the 27-year-old is then targeting a European title before an assault on the world title next year.
He added, „We haven’t underestimated Welborn, he’s strong and he’s a big puncher, but no disrespect to him, if I can’t beat him I may as well give up,“
„I’m in this business to win world titles and beating Welborn is another step towards that aim for me. The next step for me after would be the European which is a belt I’d love to win, “
„Winning the British title was a dream come true, but keeping hold of it will be hard, it’s a beautiful and prestigious belt and Welborn wants it, but I’ll be leaving with it.“
Gavin v Welborn is live and exclusive on BoxNation, (Sky Ch. 437, Virgin Ch. 546).
Froch vs. Kessler II is on
– Stunning super middleweight blockbuster rematch agreed-
Matchroom Sport and Team Sauerland are delighted to announce that Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler will fight in Britain.
The huge super middleweight rematch is the fight of the year in boxing and the two sides are delighted that terms have been agreed on the biggest fight on British soil in many years.
Full details on the fight will be announced at a press conference soon, and both fighters have expressed their delight that they will once again lock horns.
„First and foremost, I’m really pleased the fight has finally been arranged,” said Froch. “I feared that Kessler had second thoughts about his promise – but the man has come good on his word.
„Our first fight was pure warfare. We went at each other for every minute of every round and the rematch promises to be even more fiercely contested. I seriously wish I was ringside myself for this fight, because I’m gunning for revenge at all costs and the fight fans are in for a real treat.
„He is a class act both inside and outside the ropes. We are cut from the same cloth and we will be friends yet again after the fight. But the moment I heard the fight was done on the telephone, I was completely switched on and he was the focus of my mind. I can’t wait to get back into camp for this one. I’ve never felt so motivated.
„If Mikkel thinks he saw the best of me in Denmark then he is in for a rude awakening. I give him the utmost respect that he has the guts to board that plane and come collect a serious whooping at the hands of the Cobra – let’s bring it on!”
“I promised Carl we would meet again and here we are, getting ready to leave it all in the ring for a second time,” said Kessler.
“I have the utmost of respect for Carl, I feel we are very much alike. He is a great champion, a true warrior that has fought the best opponents all over the world in some of the most hostile places, just like me. Our first fight, especially the last round, showed what we are all about . Let´s do it again.
“Since that first fight, I have become even stronger. I am fresh, I am healthy and I am ready to defeat him once again. I don´t care where we fight, I said anytime, anywhere! I plan to make my loyal Viking fans, as well as everybody else in Denmark, very proud once again. I am ready for war!”
”This is one for the ages,” said Froch’s promoter Eddie Hearn. ”My hat goes off to both men for putting everything on the line here in what can only be an epic battle. Too many super fights fall by the wayside so to make Froch v Kessler 2 is a dream come true.
”Froch vs. Kessler 1 was a barnburner but I really feel Carl is a different fighter now, especially in the UK. These are the kinds of fights and nights that can cement the legacy of Carl Froch and no one deserves it more. We know what to expect from both men and either way it’s going to be brutal.”
“Kessler vs. Froch I was an instant classic, the best fight ever on Danish soil – Kessler vs. Froch II will be even better,” said Kessler’s promoter Kalle Sauerland. ”Mikkel and Carl are two all-time greats, two future hall-of-famers and they will leave it all in the ring once again.
“We have worked non-stop since Mikkel´s victory over Brian Magee to make this fight happen and give the boxing fans in Denmark, Britain and all over the world what they want to see – a mega-fight that will go down in boxing history.
“Kessler versus Froch, the Viking Warrior versus the Cobra, the WBA Champ versus the IBF Champ, Copenhagen versus Nottingham, Denmark versus England. This is all about honour, pride and sportsmanship. It´s history in the making. This is what boxing is all about and what boxing needs, two true warriors toe-to-toe.
“This fight will be remembered for years to come. The Viking Warrior is coming to England for war!”

Carl Froch´s Promoter Eddie Hearn is very keen on to get the bout Froch vs Kessler II. To make it clearly they are beating 2 Mio £ (GBP) for Kessler. It has to be made a quick decission otherwise will Froch make his mandatory IBF fight against Adonis Stevenson. The bout against Stevenson will be a financial good business as it will be broadcasted at HBO. IBF has a deadline at 15.01.2013 about the mandatory bout, otherwise Froch is losing the title.
A fight Kessler vs Froch II could take place at the O2 Arena in London or at the MEN-Arena in Manchester.
The fight between Mormeck and Wlodarczyk is off, while Mormeck is injured. It is not the first time this bout is proposed. Will it really happen?
Rumpous saying that Wlodarczyk could be able to fight Rakhim Chakhkiev. Negotiations was one before. The fight might be possible to take place in Russia.
Other options is that Alekseev will fight Krzysztof Wlodarczyk. As Wodarczyk been seen on Sauerlands Boxevents it might be a fight with Hernandez or Marco Huck. Lots of speculations right now.
