Boxing fans in Germany will have another attractive event on Tuesday, November 13 at Hohenstaufenhalle in Göppingen, Baden-Württemberg when Javier Castillejo meets Mariano Natalio Carrera once again in an official WBA Middleweight Title Eliminator.
Alongside the middleweight battle, Spotlight Boxing fighters Karolina Lukasik and Maurice Weber will also step into the ring in title bouts.
In December 2006, Argentina’s Mariano Natalio Carrera challenged WBA middleweight champion of the time, Javier Castillejo, and won the title by eleventh round TKO. Carrera, however, failed a postfight doping test and the result was changed to a no-contest two months later with the title reverting back to Castillejo, who subsequently was dethroned by current champion Felix Sturm in April, 2007.
The winner of the middleweight bout between #2 ranked Carrera, 31-4-0 (22), and #3 ranked Castillejo, 61-7-0 (41), will likely move up in the WBA rankings to become the #1 contender to champion Felix Sturm, who defeated Randy Griffin in a thrilling battle for the WBA belt on October 20 of this year.
On the undercard, unbeaten WIBF and GBU Super Welter world champion Karolina Lukasik, 8-0-0 (1), will risk her belts against Yahaira Hernandez, 9-1-0 (4), of the Dominican Republic. Since the Warsaw born Lukasik joined Spotlight Boxing in March 2006, she has been in the passing lane.
The towering 25 year old southpaw made her way up to the top and won her first world title in January 2007, securing the WIBF belt in only her sixth pro fight. After her eighth fight, Lukasik had added the GBU and the interim WBA belts.
She also won the WBC Eliminator to face the current champion Jisselle Salandy. Karolina Lukasik is on the way to becoming the overall champion and is certain to claim more world title belts.
Spotlight fighter Maurice Weber, 9-0-1 (3), will have his first title fight when he faces Daniel Kaefer, 8-2-2 (4), in the German super welterweight championship.
This Eurofighter boxing event will also present the fights of Spotlight Boxing talents Marcel Meyerdiercks, 1-0-0 (1), at featherweight, heavyweight Vladimir Tereshkin, 3-0-0 (3), and super flyweight Magdalena “The Beast” Dahlen, 6-0-0 (3), in separate bouts.
Spotlight Boxing presents an official WBA Middleweight Title Eliminator between Javier Castillejo and Mariano Natalio Carrera on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 at Hohenstaufenhalle in Göppingen, Germany.
