The EBU announced that Isaac Real (20-3-1) and Tomi Silveinnonen clash for the vacant EU title on March 14 in Spain on a Gallego Prada promotion. This comes rather surprisingly as today was the day for the scheduled purse bids for a showdown between Real and Kerman Lejarraga but MGZ withdrew their man and Real was left without an opponent.

De Carolis is currently sparring with Danish light heavyweight Jeppe Morell in Rome.

Danish cruiserweight prospect Ditlev Rossing is in against Ukrainan Sviatoslav Svyryd on February 1 in Copenhagen on the next Danish Fight Night Promotion.
