Fabio Turchi, from Vukasin Obradovic al European light heavyweight title
On the same wavelength Fabio Turchi: “I’m happy to fight in Ring Roosters because I need to get in the ring and it will be my fourth match in Milan after those at the Principe theater and the historic PalaLido. I’ve been training since September because I was supposed to defend the European Union title, but when the European Boxing Union named me official challenger to the reigning champion Chris Billam Smith I decided together with the Cherchi family to abandon the European Union title to focus on the most important challenge that should materialize in the first months of next year. I have seen Chris Billam Smith fight and I consider him a very good but beatable boxer. He also passed on points Dylan Bregeon and fought against Tommy McCarthy only he won by split decision while I lost by split decision. For the moment, I focus on the challenge against Vukasin Obradovic. Easy opponents do not exist and on Saturday 11 December I will have to get into the ring 100% and determined to beat my opponent. “
