“We are very pleased with the results of the first year which crowned APB champions across the globe in 10 weight categories. This is a unique opportunity for both boxers to compete in front of more than 40,000 fans in Germany, which participates in our vision for APB development in the future” said AIBA President CK WU.
26 November 2015, Lausanne – APB boxers David Graf (GER) and Anton Pinchuk (KAZ) will face each other on the undercard of one of the most awaited bouts of this year, the Wladimir Klitschko vs Tyson Fury event on the 28th of November in Dusseldorf, Germany. This event will mark the beginning of a new era and a natural step forward in the expansion of AIBA boxing initiated by President CK Wu since the beginning of his Presidency in 2006.
“We are very pleased with the results of the first year which crowned APB champions across the globe in 10 weight categories. This is a unique opportunity for both boxers to compete in front of more than 40,000 fans in Germany, which participates in our vision for APB development in the future” said AIBA President CK WU.
Heavyweight Graf, won both his APB bouts against tough Argentinian Yamil Peralta and Bulgaria’s Olympic Medalist Tervel Pulev. He will be hoping to extend that record to 3-0, while his opponent Pinchuk has already won 5 bouts in APB, only loosing to double World Champion Clemente Russo. Both boxers boast a similar style in the ring, but Pinchuk will be hoping that his greater big-match experience – including winning Gold at last year’s Asian Games - will help overcome Graf’s mental advantage from what will undoubtedly be a highly vocal and partisan crowd in Dusseldorf.
