The bout will be a ten-rounder for the "European Union" belt, not to be confused with the more recognized "European Boxing Union" belt held by Luan Krasniqi.

Bad blow
Nigeria’s Sunday Aderoju was knocked out in the fifth round by former IBF 135-pound challenger Dennis Holbaek Pedersen in Guadalajara, Spain.
