Danish light heavyweight Jeppe Morell, 9-2, has pulled out of the fight against former WBA champ Dmitri Chudinov, 21-3-2, - which was scheduled for November 24 in Copenhagen.
Morell says to media in Denmark that he can´t go through with the fight without correct preparations and this includes good sparring. And the good sparring was booked with Patrick Mendy but he never showed up and now Morell has pulled out.
If Chudinov intends to fight somebody else on the show is an open question.

Swedish-Ugandan cruiser and 2-time Olympian Kennedy Katende, 4-0, have now signed with Banner Promotions and expect to make his debut for his new promoter early 2019.
Katende was previously with Real Deal Promotions. Katende´s good friend and stablemate at Real Deal, Swedish-Albanian Naim "the Albanian Warrior" Terbunja has also signed with Banner. Terbunja was an excellent amateur, in fact # 1 in Sweden with Badou Jack as # 2 but in the pros Terbunja has for some reasons disappointed. However, in his last fight, Naim, 10-2-1, got a disputed draw against the dangerous Lanell Bellows and showed there is still hope.
