Yildirim defends WBC International crown

The international World Boxing Council super middleweight champion, Turkish Avni Yildirim, will defend his crown against Danish Lolenga Mock, on September 15 in Hurth, Germany.

Yildirim (20-1, 12 KOs) comes from defeating by knockout in the first round, Dominican fighter Jose Antonio Rodriguez, on July 14.

For his part, Mock (42-14-1, 13 KOs), former champion of the European Boxing Union (EBU), has a streak of 11 victories in a row.

Yildirim suffered the only loss of his career last year, when he was knocked out in three rounds by Chris Eubank Jr. in a crash that was part of the World Boxing Super Series tournament.
