At Göppingen, Germany: Firat Arslan vs. Lubos Suda, rematch, 10 rounds, cruiserweights, Firat Arslan returns on July 15th against Lubos Suda live on Eurosport
Former WBA cruiserweight champion Firat Arslan will try to get in line for another world title shot when he returns to action on July 15th in his home base in Göppingen, Germany (close to Stuttgart). Arslan will also try to avenge one of his only 5 career losses (30 wins, 1 draw) when he faces Czech toughguy Lubos Suda (23-5-1) who had beaten the German southpaw in a close fight in December 2003 in Prague.
“I know very well that Suda is a strong opponent and that I have to be at my best to beat him“, says Arslan. „I think it’s only fair that he is coming to my backyard now. I have fought him in Prague, now he is coming to Germany. I want to prove that I am better than him and that I still got what it takes to become world champion again.“
The 40-year-old certainly has no time to waste but will have to take the fast track if he wants to fight for a major title again.
