Då var det officiellt med motståndare till Eriks 15 match som professionell boxare den 9 februari, i Danska Esbjerg.
Det blir 20 åriga Ungraren Attila Baran som står för motståndet. Baran har gjort 16 matcher som proffesionell boxare och vunnit 11. Av dessa 11 segrar har 6 kommit på Knock-Out.
Baran har redan varit uppe i några titel-matcher i sin unga karriär. Han tog i november 2011 den Slovakiska titeln. I maj 2012 tog han WBF:s Intercontinetala tittel genom att redan i andra ronden stoppa Janos Olah. I juni 2012 boxades Baran om WBC:s Mediterranean titel, men blev då själv stoppad på TKO i rond 8.
Baran är en tuff och mycket tålig boxare med ett tätt försvar och hårda svingar. Han är också stark och bra tränad.

***Skoglund to fight Attila Baran in Esbjerg on Feb 9***
Rising Swedish light heavyweight Erik Skoglund will take on Hungary´s Attila Baran at the Nordic Fight Night in Esbjerg on February 9. In his first fight after signing a long-term contract extension with Team Sauerland, Skoglund is determined to continue where he left it in the last year. “2012 was great but 2013 will be even better,” Skoglund said. “I clinched seven victories and improved to 14-0 with 8 KOs. It could not have gone any better. I am keen to keep it up and I will start with a victory over Baran in Esbjerg.”
The 21-year-old is currently shaping up in training camp in Guestrow, Germany. He is joined by the Danish duo of Patrick and Micki Nielsen as well as former world champion Juergen Braehmer, who are all coached by Karsten Roewer. Braehmer will take on European Light Heavyweight Champion Eduard Gutknecht at Team Sauerland´s show in Berlin one week before the Nordic Fight Night in Esbjerg. “Training with Juergen is great,” Skoglund said. “I can learn so much from him, just by watching and studying his moves. We are putting in some very good and very exhausting training sessions and we will both be 100 percent fit for our fights.”
