Former World Boxing Federation
(WBF) World Light Heavyweight
Champion Tamas Kovacs, 27-1
(16), will headline a show in
his native Slovakia on Saturday,
June 11, when he takes on young
but experienced Georgian Giorgi
Beroshvili, 26-11-2 (18), for
the vacant WBF Euroasia title at
the Sport Hall in Trencin.
“Tomi
Kid” Kovacs (38) won the WBF
International Light Heavyweight
title in October 2009, and then
captured the world title less
than two months later. For
various reasons he never
defended his world title, and in
2013 he lost a challenge for the
WBA crown when Beibut Shumenov
got the better of him in San
Antonio, Texas.
Since then he ventured up to
Cruiserweight, where he won the
WBF International title in 2014,
but he is now back at Light
Heavy and ready to launch
another attack at world honors.
Winning the WBF Eurasia title
could be the first step towards
a crack at reigning WBF world
champion Tony Averlant from
France.
Giorgi Beroshvili is only 24
years old, but has amazingly
fought thirty-nine times since
turning professional only four
years ago. Having faced top
names such as Tyron Zeuge,
Martin Murray and Max Bursak,
this will be his fifth
championship fight in just over
two years.
The Tamas Kovacs vs. Giorgi
Beroshvili WBF Eurasia Light
Heavyweight title fight on June
11 in Trencin, Slovakia will
headline a show promoted by
Profibox-Promotion, and will be
preceded by a strong undercard
featuring local talents in
interesting match-ups.
