Former European Champion Eduard Gutknecht (24-2, 9 KOs) has a new opponent
to prepare for. Originally, the 31-year-old German was supposed to take on
Travis Dickinson at the Max-Schmeling-Halle in Berlin, Germany. However, the
Brit pulled out of the fight and will now be replaced by Richard Vidal from
Uruguay on June 8. The 37-year-old will be a tough challenge in Gutknecht´s
quest to capture the vacant WBA Intercontinental Light Heavyweight
Championship. ?I have been preparing for Dickinson and his strengths,? said
Gutknecht. ?But I am aiming to get back to the top. Therefore, I have to
deal with these uncomfortable situations. Vidal is in great shape and has
quite some experience when it comes to title fights. I won?t make the
mistake of underestimating him.?
Tickets for the big fight night at the Max-Schmeling-Halle in Berlin,
Germany are available at www.eventim.de and www.boxen.com.
