Boxing: Alexander Dimitrenko faces Ross Puritty

Stuttgart/Hamburg – For Alexander „Sascha“ Dimitrenko a dream was coming true: The opponent of the 22 year old heavyweight fighter from the Universum boxing stable for his fight on the July 31 show in Stuttgart is somebody well known in Germany and highly respected in boxing gyms around the world: Experienced and seasoned American Ross Puritty (37).

"I wanted him as opponent and now I’m happy that my management could realize it“, Dimitrenko said. “Now I have the chance to show that I can box variable and that I can punch hard. I don’t like to be compared with the Klitschko brothers. But everbody else compares us. That’s why I enjoy the idea to face the man who defeated Wladimir and lost to Vitali. Puritty fought against the best. Now it’s time to show my talent to all boxing experts. This is going to be a difficult fight. It’s the best test I can get."
