Undefeated Albanian heavyweight Nelson Hysa (17-0, 15 KOs) hopes to have a triumphant homecoming against Germany’s Thorsten Fuchs (13-1, 10 KOs) in the 12-round main event for the vacant WBO European belt this Thursday, July 11, at Skanderbeg Square in Tirana, Albania.
Hysa-Fuchs and undercard fights will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ starting at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT. Undercard action includes the return of Top Rank-promoted junior welterweight prospect Hugo “The Fresh Prince of Monaco” Micallef (9-0, 2 KOs), who will take on Bogdan Draskovic (9-14-1, 5 KOs) in a six-rounder.
I don’t give two Fuchs about this fight!
Hey ESPN, what the fook? 🙂
Fuchs me?!?!?
Fuchs You!!!!!
On paper, that HW fight has me intrigued. Someone is likely going to sleep.
More than likely, you’ll be right. I like Hysa, but he feels more like an attraction instead of a legit top-shelf heavyweight. He’s not a young pup, so if he has aspirations of a big fight, he’s gonna need to take a big step forward very quickly.
