Unbeaten German sensation Dominik Britsch (23-0, 8 KOs) has set
his
sights on his first major belt when he takes on Ryan Davis (23-8-3,
9
KOs) for the vacant IBF Intercontinental Middleweight Title in
Munich on July 16. The gifted 23-year-old, who has twice fought on
Super Six World Boxing Classic undercards in the US, has been
primed for glory ever since winning the IBF Youth Middleweight
Title two years ago against Daniel Urbanski. While many believe the
versatile, charismatic and articulate youngster could be the next
German boxing superstar, Britsch is keeping his feet firmly to the
ground.
"I am thrilled to finally fight for my first big international
title," Britsch said. "That is exactly what I have been working and
waiting for. I will take one step at a time and not look past
Davis, who is a tough guy. But he will not stop me on my way to the
top."
In the main event of the night, WBO Cruiserweight Champion Marco
Huck
will make a seventh defence of his title against Hugo Hernan Garay,
while European Light Heavyweight Champion Eduard Gutknecht will
take on Lorenzo Di Giacomo. It will be a busy night for coach
Wegner, who believes Britsch has a golden future ahead.
"Dominik has the potential, the talent and the
determination to be the next big thing in Germany,"
Wegner lauded. "He works hard in practice and listens to my
advice. We
have carefully moved him to the top. Now is the time for big
fights. He is a diamond and I am sure he will put on a great
performance against Davis."
