While he may now be 36 years old, Germany’s WBA (reg) light-heavyweight champion Juergen Braehmer (46-2, 34ko), has stated that if he gets past German-based Montenegran challenger Konni Konrad (22-1-1, 11ko) this weekend, then he wants to seek out a big unification fight with dominant Russian danger man Sergey Kovalev, OR Canadian lineal champion Adonis Stevenson – at least, that’s the word from German promotional heavyweights Sauerland Event, who look after the veteran southpaw.
Relative unknown Konrad – a 30 year old who has never boxed anybody of note – on paper presents a minor obstacle to the former WBO champion, who has often been criticized for holding his titles hostage in Germany without seeking foreign challenges. It seems that now however, in the twilight of his career, that is about to change for the former delinquent, who is at last seeking those big divisional fights.
