Boxing In Finland: Yory Boy Meets Ex-Euro Champ In Helsinki

The amazing Luis Ramon “Yory Boy” Campas will take part in his 102nd bout when he climbs through the ropes to meet Finnish national boxing hero and former European champ Amin Asikainen at middleweight tonight at the Toolo Sports Hall in Helsinki.

36 year old Campas, 91-10 (73), will be making his first European appearance in a career that started in 1987 and saw him through three defenses of the IBF Light Middleweight title in the late 1990’s.

32 year old Asikainen, 23-1 (15), won the European crown with an eight round stoppage of Sebsatien Sylvester in 2006 but after two successful defenses, the German relieved the Finn of that belt in their rematch last year.

Asikainen has only been stopped once but will really gets his chin tested as Campas still packs a massive punch, nearly sending upcoming world title challenger John Duddy to his first loss when the pair clashed in 2006.
