In Nantes, France EC Boxing‘s Christian Hammer will take on Olympic Champion Tony Yoka in a 10 round Heavyweight bout. On top of that there are two other Erol Ceylan promoted fighters competing that night. Both Victor Faust and Volkan Gökcek will step into the ring of the H Arena and try to stay unbeaten. After turning pro early this year, Faust and Gökcek both will have their fifth fight since doing so – something you rarely see in the crazy year of 2020.

Heayvweight Faust (4 fights, 4 wins, 4 knockouts) just had his toughest test so far, when he took on the experienced Yakup Saglam on October 31st in Hamburg. After securing yet another stoppage win, the Ukrainian will step up in competition again. In France he will face tough Pole Kamil Sokolowski (31 fights, 10 wins, 4 knockouts), who just went the distance with Faust‘s ECB team member Ali Eren Demirezen. The fight is scheduled for 6 rounds.

Quite a few weight classes below Faust rising star Volkan Gökcek (4 fights, 4 wins, 2 knockouts) from Turkey is making his mark. The 24 year old also fought in Hamburg last month, beating Octavian Gratii from Moldova on points. Now Gökcek ist taking on Aboubeker Bechelaghem (25 fights, 12 wins). The Frenchman already competed against some known names in the sport, including 2012 Olympic Champion Luke Campbell. This Super-Lightweight contest is also scheduled for six rounds.

„We are glad that our fighters get another chance to fight this year. Victor and Volkan are facing some tough and experienced opponents who are not coming to lose,“ Promoter Erol Ceylan states.

Hamburg, 17th of September– On September 20th Dnipro, Ukraine will be the host of an exciting boxing show. Three aspiring athletes from German promotion EC Boxing will be a part of this event. Ukrainian heavyweight Victor Faust is taking center stage, fighting in front of his home crowd. He’ll be joined by fellow big man Ali Eren Demirezen and young 140 pound sensation Volkan Gökcek, who are all willing to take the next step in their careers.

Faust will be challenging Gabriel Enguema from Spain, who just like him is over 6’5’’ tall and has shown a sturdy chin in the past. This fight is a step up for Faust after two rather easy wins to start off his professional career. The 28-year old held his training camp in Istanbul, where he worked alongside teammates Demirezen and Gökcek. Therefore Faust will be prepared for what’s to come.
 

Demirezen, who sparred Faust for this fight, has already reached for the stars when he took on Nigerian Efe Ajagba in summer of 2019. Despite falling short on the scorecards, Demirezen is showing ambition to climb to the top of the heavyweight division. In Dnipro he will take on dangerous Kamil Sokolowski from Poland. Demirezen knows that he might be only one win away from getting another shot at a top contender, since Promoter Erol Ceylan from EC Boxing is
known for arranging big fights for his clients.

Also returning to the ring that night is up and coming super-lightweight Volkan Gökcek. The technically sound fighter from Istanbul will fight unbeaten Ukrainian Ruslan Belinskyi  „These are all decent tests for our fighters. We are looking to keep them active and lead them to the top. In due time they will all challenge for big titles“, Erol Ceylan states.
