“Golden Boy” Of Denmark Desperate For Victory

Danish Super Featherweight prospect Kim Poulsen returns to the ring in Oranienberg, Germany on May 12, and has sent out a defiant message to whoever he fights against stating, “I must win by all means.”

Poulsenʼs return comes less than a month since his disappointing points loss to Frenchman Tony Jourda, a decision which has galvanised the ʽGolden Boyʼ to make sure that the same mistake doesn’t happen again.

“I gave everything I had in me on the day, but if I fought Jourda again I would beat him easy,” said Poulsen. “I am a much better boxer than him, but I felt tight for some reason and couldnʼt get my boxing to flow, using my jab and so on. I really want to fight him again to show I am the better man, and that he just had a lucky day.”

Manager Henrik Risum also revealed that a rematch with Jourda could be on the cards but it is unlikely to happen until the fall.

“I want Kim to have a few more learning-fights after this coming fight on May 12, and then I think he will be ready to fight Jourda again in the fall, box him the right way, and show everybody that Tony got a lucky break last time”, Risum said.

Despite not knowing who he will face in Germany next Saturday, Poulsen, 3-1 (1), believes whoever he faces will provide a stern test and help erase the memory of the Jourda bout.

“I take one fight at the time, and now I am only focused on May 12,” he said. “I have been working hard with my trainer Brian Mathiasen who has a lot of experience. We are a very good team, me, my manager and my trainer. Brian is a great trainer, and I donʼt think you can get anyone better than him. He is the perfect trainer for me.”

Kim “Golden Boy” Poulsen will join stable mate Fawaz Nasir on the SES show in Oranienburg, Germany on May 12.
