Dutch champion Steve Suppan
headlines “The Evolution of Boxing
8” on Saturday May 21 in Abcoude,
the Neterlands, when he goes for the
vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF)
International Welterweight title
against Bato Berkatsashvili from
Georgia.
27-year-old Suppan is 12-1-1 (5)
since turning professional in 2015.
His sole defeat came at the hands of
Ukrainian Karen Chukhadzhian in a
bid for the WBO Youth title, in Kiev
in 2017.
Since then he has put together five
straight wins, including one for the
Dutch national Light Welterweight
title in 2019.
Berkatsashvili (23) will enter his
fourth championship fight, and will
be determined to make this
opportunity count after falling
short in his previous three
attempts.
The Georgian also turned pro in
2015, but has been significantly
more active than Suppan, compiling a
12-12 (7) record.
