The World Boxing Federation is
happy to welcome on board
another promoter from Germany in
Turhan Altunkaya, whose
Koblenz-based PunchUp Promotion
will stage their initial WBF
championship bout on March 6,
2010 in Siershahn, Germany.
Contesting the International
cruiserweight crown (and at the
same time the GBA version of the
German title) are two
African-born fighters who have
made Germany their base of
operations.
Altunkaya, himself an active
professional until 2008, will
put his hopes on 27-year-old
Ghanaian Ben Nsafoah,
7-2-2 (4), whom he manages and
trains. However, with
Karlsruhe-based Nigerian
Prince Anthony Ikeji in the
opposing corner, nobody can
accuse Altunkaya of easy
pickings for his charge.
Ikeji has won seven on the spin
and his five KO wins have
interestingly all come in the
opening round. Clearly, the
early rounds promise fireworks.
“This is the next step in the
development of PunchUp,” said
Altunkaya, “and I am looking
forward to work with a serious
organization such as the World
Boxing Federation.” For more
