Maxime Beaussire (25-1-1) won the vacant EU 154 lb title on Friday night in Calais with a one punch second round knockout over Joffrey Jacob (16-1-1) in a heated all French matchup. Beaussire landed with a right hook and it was all over.
Beaussire is now trained by former EBU champ Frank Nicotra and is now back on track after an upset loss to Zakaria Attou earlier this year.
IBO light heavyweight champ Igor Mikhalkin (20-1) could be defending the title on December 2 in Le Cannet (France) against Mickael Diallo (16-0-2). Posters for the fight can already be found on the internet but according to Mikhalkin´s promoter Erol Ceylan contracts are not yet signed.
