When up-and-coming German cruiserweight Bjoern Blaschke steps into the ring next Satuday, Dec. 4 in his hometown of Reutlingen, facing Cologne-based Jonathan Pasi for the vacant WBF International belt, he has little option but to win the title, seeing that his fans obviously expect him to deliver as the venue is already completely sold out.
Although Blaschke has just a 6-0 (5) record, he was an experienced amateur with almost 150 fight and thus can’t waste much time, being already 32 years old.
“I’m physically in top shape,” says Blaschke, who has trained at the Neuwied gym of manager Turhan Altunkaya, “so I have done everything I could to win the title and be ready for 10 rounds if necessary.”
Altunkaya, himself a former professional, attests Blaschke a lot of talent and a huge heart and Jonathan Pasi will certainly be his toughest test so far in the pro ranks.
