JOHANNESON SEEKS REVENGE ON KIRAKOSYAN
Boxing Scene, AR
June 27 2007
Carl Johanneson is looking for revenge on July 13 when he steps into
the ring with Leva Kirakosyan, who inflicted Johanneson’s only loss
in a British ring.
Johanneson first stepped up against the formidable Armenian in December
2004 and history shows Kirakosyan, 25-4 (16), gained one of his 16
stoppages by knocking Johanneson out in the first round.
Johanneson, 26-2 (18), knows he could have taken an easier route
but being the fighting man that he is, he has asked promoter Frank
Maloney for the opportunity to settle the score.
"I have never been so up for a fight before," Johanneson said of this
European super featherweight clash. "I had a few problems earlier
this year which have been sorted now and I feel great.
"This fight will not be for the weak hearted. One of us will be asleep
on the canvas before the fight is over."
This intriguing contest is supported by an anticipated thriller between
Tontcho Tontchev, 37-5 (21), and John Fewkes, 14-0 (2), of Sheffield.
Fewkes feels he has been overlooked by the top names but the undefeated
21 year old knows he will soon be fighting European rated boxers in
a bid to claim a title.
