\"6d071e71-ed37-4a0b-afbc-5cdf79228483\"<\/a>\u2018The World Awaits\u2019 as Patrick Nielsen (23-1, 11 KOs) makes the move up to super middleweight. In his maiden fight at 168lbs, the Danish boxing star will headline an action-packed Nordic Fight Night show on March 14 at the Ballerup Super Arena in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I\u2019ve been fighting at the middleweight limit for five-years,\u2019\u2019 said Nielsen, who returns following a unanimous points victory over Lukasz Wawrzyczek in December. \u2018\u2019I\u2019m only 23 years old, so it\u2019s natural that during this time my body is going to grow and develop.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019It has been getting more and more difficult for me to make the weight. In my last two fights in particular, I struggled. I was left feeling drained and wasn\u2019t able to perform as well as I know I can.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019At super middleweight it\u2019s going to be a different story. I\u2019m going to be able to bring a lot more power and a lot more excitement. I feel stronger already. There are some massive fights out there for me and I\u2019m ready to mix it with the top guys in the division. I want to be the best, and to be the best I must beat the best.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The move up to super middleweight marks the start of an exciting new chapter for the Copenhagen-boxer, beginning on March 14 at the Ballerup Super Arena.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019It\u2019s a great venue,\u2019\u2019 said Nielsen. \u2019I\u2019ve been there to watch the Six Day Race, and I\u2019m looking forward to fighting there on March 14. I think the way the arena is set up is going to make for a really special atmosphere. It\u2019s only ten minutes away from my home, so I\u2019m expecting all my fans to come to support me and make a lot of noise!\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Nielsen\u2019s coach, former two-time world champion, Joey Gamache, believes the time is right for the Dane to move up in weight, and expects a new and improved performance from him in the ring on March 14.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019This is the right decision at the right time for Patrick,\u2019\u2019 said Gamache. \u2018\u2019I think at super middleweight we are going to see his true potential. He has had to drop a lot of weight going into fights in the past and that has affected his performances.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019He\u2019s not a small guy, and with his size, height and reach he is more suited to super middleweight. It\u2019s something we have talked about for a while. We sat down as a team and decided the time is right to make the move up now.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019He\u2019s not meant to be a middleweight. His younger brother Micki is a cruiserweight, so that tells you something about his family genetics. He\u2019s been fighting at that weight for five years and he is not a skinny eighteen-year kid anymore. He\u2019s matured and developed. It\u2019s been a struggle for him to make the weight since I started working with him.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019At super middleweight he is going to be fresher. Everything is going to be better, his strength, endurance and resistance. It will also allow us to be more aggressive in the ring. He is going to be able to carry a lot more power at super middleweight and that is going to trouble a lot of his opponents.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Promoter Nisse Sauerland is looking forward to bringing the Nordic Fight Night to the Ballerup Super Arena, and is promising excitement in Nielsen\u2019s super middleweight debut.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019The move up in weight is going to benefit Patrick massively,\u2019\u2019 said Sauerland. \u2018\u2019I believe we are going to see a completely different fighter in the ring on March 14. More weight means more power, and with more power comes more excitement.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019This is a big step for Patrick. The super middleweight division is one of the strongest in the world. There are some great fighters and great fights out there, Patrick is going to be a part of this.<\/p>\n

\u2018’The Ballerup Super Arena it is a fantastic arena and will provide a great setting for the Nordic Fight Night. As always, we will bring fans an action-packed show, featuring the very best of Scandinavian boxing. We will be making further announcements regarding the undercard and Patrick\u2019s opponent in the coming days.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

”We\u2018re delighted to welcome the Nordic Fight Night to the Ballerup Super Arena,\u2019\u2019 said Venue Director, Keith Lemmon. \u2018\u2019We have a fantastic history of staging top quality sporting events, and we look forward to hosting another on March 14. We believe the Ballerup Super Arena will provide the perfect setting for an exciting evening of world class boxing!’<\/p>\n
