The big Danish Fight Night promotion that was set for November 6 in Brondby (on the outskirts of Copenhagen) is postponed with a new date to be announced.
As to why it was postponed, promoter and matchmaker Mogens Palle was hospitalized for a while, the EBU was slow in forcing Sandor Martin to relinquish the EBU title and allow Enock Poulsen and Massi Tachour to fight for the vacant title and the IBF didn't give permission for its featherweight champ Sarah Mahfoud to take part in a non-title fight. There's purse bids on November 2 for Mahfoud's mandatory defense against German Nina Meinke.

On Saturday (Oct 30) at Safiren in Katrineholm Samo Jangirov (6-2-1) was all set to defend the Swedish cruiserweight title against David Loy (10-2) in what was a solid headliner to a small pro-am event. However, Monday night Loy came down with problems with the heart and was forced to pull out.
As it was newly relocated Tanzanian Awadh Tamim was available and saved the show. However, the Martial Arts Law that regulates professional boxing in Sweden rules that all fights over 12 minutes duration need special permission and what was a fight over 8x3 is a fight over 6x2 or 4x3. This was a big setback for promoter Krister Segerberg and his team.
As for Tamim's record, well, take a closer look at his early days: fights in Yemen and Lebanon against "pro debutants" never heard of again. Word is that he can fight a bit but boxrec needs to take a long hard look at who enters what.
