7.1.2008:
After six months out of the ring following two title fights
almost back-to-back in 2007, Danish super middleweight, and
former WBO Intercontinental title-challenger, Fawaz Nasir
(11-2, 6 KOs) is counting the hours before his ring-return on
Saturday night in Aabybro, Denmark. He wants to get back in the
win-column quickly, and then go back ito the gym to prepare for
more fights during the coming spring, and then hopefully a third
crack at a belt after the summer.

"We are hoping to get two or three wins under Fawaz belt before
aiming at another big fight after we came so close to winning
titles last year”, says co-manager Henrik Risum of Risum Boxing,
who handles Nasir in cooperation with Fight Production in
Germany. “I hope Fawaz has learned from the fights against
Sebastian Zbik (L12) and Lukas Wilascheck (L10), and that it
will be third time lucky in 08."
In Aabybro, Nasir will fight teak-tough Latvian Sandris Tomsons
(2-11, 1 KO). The numbers on Tomsons ledger are not frightening,
but is deceiving nevertheless. Less than two years ago he lost a
controversial split decision against the 34-3-2 Stephan Trabant
in Germany, and many felt he deserved the decision over
undefeated (9-0) Thomas Troelenberg in March of last year.
Tomsons is coming off a knockout victory, and will face Nasir
with intentions of “upsetting the applecart". |

Nasir vs. Tomsons will be aired live on Danish TV channel DK4. |
