***Skoglund to fight Nelongo at first Nordic Fight Night on Feb 18***
Erik Skoglund (7-0, 3 KOs) will come face-to-face with Spanish veteran Juan Nelongo (21-13, 9 KOs) at the first Nordic Fight Night on February 18. The unbeaten Swedish light heavyweight, who famously overcame a broken jaw last May when he defeated Volodymyr Borovskyy, is an integral part of the revolutionary Nordic Fight Night concept, which features the very best of Scandinavian boxing. “I look forward to fighting at Copenhagen´s famous Broendby Hall,” Skoglund said. “Nelongo is a tough guy but having seen a couple of his fights I know that I am faster and stronger. I don´t think it will be a problem to beat him. The hard training in Berlin will pay off.”
Promoter Nisse Sauerland rates Skoglund very highly. “Erik has the potential to be a champion one day,” he stated. “That is the reason why he got a place on our team. We will slowly but surely guide him to the top. The fight against Nelongo will be his next test and I am sure he will pass it in style.”
In the main event of the first Nordic Fight Night, Rudy Markussen will challenge WBA Super-Middleweight Interim Champion Brian Magee. The Nielsen brothers, Patrick and Micki, will also be in action. TV10 will be broadcasting the Skoglund fight live in Sweden. Tickets are available at www.billetnet.dk.
