The Nielsen Brothers &
Ceylan Headline Explosive Night Of Boxing On June 20 In
Copenhagen
Denmark’s top boxing talents are back in action on June 20
for an explosive Nordic Fight Night event at the Ballerup
Super Arena in Copenhagen. It will be ‘Danish Dynamite’ when
the country’s brightest stars Patrick Nielsen, Dennis Ceylan
and Micki Nielsen test their skills against tough
international opposition.
Patrick Nielsen (25-1, 12 KOs) returns following an
impressive points victory over former world title challenger
Ruben Eduardo Acosta. In his third super middleweight
contest, the 24 year-old will defend his WBA International
title against former Commonwealth Champion Charles Adamu
(23-6, 17 KOs).
"I’m looking forward to getting back in the ring and making
the first defence of my WBA International belt," said
Nielsen. "This is what I live and breathe for. I’m more
motivated then ever and on June 20, I’ll be ready to take
Adamu out!"
Nielsen is joined by featherweight star Dennis Ceylan
(14-0-1, 7 KOs), who after a series of show stealing
performances is on the cusp of his first title challenge.
Before the Aarhus-boxer can claim his first strap, he must
overcome former European king Sergio Prado (10-4-1, 4 KOs).
"This fight is another step forward for me," said the 26
year-old. "I feel like I’m moving closer and closer to the
title fights I dream about. Now, I know it is just a matter
of time."
Having entertained with a fast-paced points victory over
former world champion Dmitry Kirillov in his last outing,
Ceylan is promising even more excitement against Prado.
"It’s going to be another entertaining fight. I can
guarantee that," said London 2012 Olympian. "I’ll be in top
shape and ready to give the fans another great show!"
The third Danish fighter in the ring will be Micki Nieslen
(17-0, 12 KOs), who was recently named ‘Boxer of the Year’
by the Danish Professional Boxing Federation.
"That was a very proud moment for me," said the 22 year-old.
"It felt great to receive the award as recognition for all
my hard work. I want to continue to improve and continue to
impress, and that starts again in Ballerup on June 20!"
Nielsen, the current WBC International Cruiserweight
Champion, can move to 18-0 when he faces an as yet unnamed
opponent at the action-packed Nordic Fight Night event.
"Bring it on," exclaimed the rising star. "I’m ready for
whoever is put in front of me!"
"We’re looking forward to bringing the Nordic Fight Night
back to the Ballerup Super Arena," said promoter Nisse
Sauerland. "It is a fantastic venue and a fitting place to
stage such a big night of boxing. Danish fans can look
forward to an explosive show featuring the country’s three
brightest boxing talents."
Team Sauerland presents the ‘Nordic Fight Night – Danish
Dynamite’ on June 20 at the Ballerup Super Arena in
Copenhagen. All the action will be broadcast live on Viasat
channels across Scandinavia.
