The former European champion of professional boxing Amin Asikainen of proteges Ilari Kujala30, and Ken Aliu26, will compete next week at the Helsinki Sports Hall.
It is the first top ten matches of their careers for both. Aliu is fighting for the Finnish championship of the lower heavyweight division Samuli Kärkkäi against. Kujala meets Martin Gruyn in a fight, the winner of which will rise to the middleweight European list.
– My credibility as a coach is at stake when Ilari and Keni are in really tough places, Asikainen states in Elite Boxing’s press release.
According to Rautanyrk, the stakes are really high.
– Keni has even said that he will end his career if he doesn’t beat Samul, and Ilar’s rise to the top of Europe would experience a hard knock if he lost, says Asikainen.
For the client, the absolute goal of the evening is two wins.
– Otherwise, you have to think hard about your own coaching matters.
To be coached by the Client in March Anton Embulaev lost For Nikita Nystedt by split vote in the upper middle division championship match. The loss took a toll, but the belief in one’s own performance with those being coached is still strong.
– With profits in mind, dune has been printed together every day. I strongly believe that Ilari will finish his match and Keni will be crowned champion at the end of the evening, says Asikainen.
Embulaev, who is waiting for an addition to the family, will not return to the ring until Kirkkonummi in the fall, but Matias Petäistön managed by recent Finnish champion Nystedt, on the other hand, will play a six-round match at the Sports Hall. The opponent has not yet been announced.
The Geebee Boxing Night 3 event starts on Friday 10.4. at 19:00 at Helsinki Sports Hall.
