Larsen on Kiel undercard!

Thursday, March 27 2008

Super middleweight Mads Larsen will return to the ring on March 29 when he takes on Ross Thompson on the Abraham-Ayala undercard in Kiel. The former European super-middleweight champion is eager to stay busy in order to put himself into a position for a title fight later this year. "I have been training very hard and look forward to getting back into the ring," Larsen said. "It's my goal to fight for a title this year and I have to stay in shape."It will be Larsenīs fifth fight since his comeback last May. In October, the "Golden Boy" (49-2, 37 KOs) saw off Emiliano Cayetano after defeating Nader Hamdan, Hector Javier Velazco and Vasily Andriyanov. "Kiel is not far from Denmark, so I am sure there will be many Danish fans coming over. That will be an additional motivation – it will be like a home match for me." 34-year-old veteran Ross Thompson (26-11, 16 KOs), who has fought opponents like Kelly Pavlik and Jeff Lacy, has been in Germany sparring with European middleweight champion Sebastian Sylvester.
