I want to fight for World titles and this fight is another step in the right direction for me.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019Koelling is a good boxer,\u2019\u2019 said Liebenberg. \u2018\u2019In the amateurs he beat a lot of fighters who are now World-rated, but this is the pros and it\u2019s a different story. He lacks power and movement. He doesn\u2019t dance and run away, he stands and fights, and that suits my style. I know if I land, he\u2019s going to go!\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019This is a chance for Enrico to show that he belongs at the top,\u2019\u2019 said promoter Kalle Sauerland. \u2018\u2019If he beats Liebenberg, he will not be far away from a World title shot. It will be a tough fight, full of action. The fans in Neubrandenburg can look forward to an explosive encounter at the Jahnsportforum.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>RSR Readers we have a contest for the 600th subscriber to the RSR YouTube Channel.
