A performance he followed with the show reel second-round stoppage of Frank Bluemle at the Baden Arena in Offenburg on April 28.<\/p>\n<p>Havnaa must now face a significant step up as he looks to advance his promising career with a ten-round contest against the former WBU Cruiserweight Champion and WBO European Heavyweight title challenger.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will need to be in my greatest shape ever,\u201d said Havnaa. \u201cRashid fought for the WBO European Heavyweight title in March, so I know he is going to be big, probably bigger than me, and I\u2019ll have to be at my best to beat him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a strong opponent. He\u2019s experienced and looks solid. I\u2019m expecting him to come with an &#8216;all in&#8217; mentality, but with that said, you never know what you\u2019re dealing until you start trading punches, so I\u2019ll be prepared for everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rashid, from Frankfurt, Germany, is known as &#8216;Thunder&#8217; due to his punching power, which has seen him claim 13 of his 16 wins inside the distance.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lpUzZTnlHbE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n&#8220;I\u2019m not worried about his power, but I will be aware of it,&#8221; says Havnaa. &#8220;When you\u2019re a big cruiserweight, all punches are dangerous, but I trust my defence. I\u2019ve been working on it a lot, and that\u2019s why I&#8217;ve never been down in my fights.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Havnaa will once again be counting on his fans to turn the S\u00d8R Amfi into a hometown fortress, as the 29 year-old admits he feels unbeatable in Arendal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have the feeling nothing can stop me now, especially not at the S\u00d8R Amfi!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The support I got from people in the arena last time gave me more energy and power than I ever thought possible,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I get motivated just thinking about it, and that\u2019s priceless when you\u2019re preparing for war. My win will be shared with everyone who&#8217;s there supporting me on March 2!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Promoter Nisse Sauerland says this fight marks the &#8216;first big step up&#8217; for Havnaa, and will provide an important acid test for the Norwegian talent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKai has done everything asked of him so far in his career,&#8221; said Sauerland. &#8220;Since his professional debut, we&#8217;ve been gradually increasing the level of opposition, but this fight marks his first big step up. He will need to prove himself at this level if he wants to continue to progress. He has the talent and determination to go a long way, but now, he has to back it up in the ring!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kai Robin Havnaa vs. Rad &#8216;Thunder&#8217; Rashid tops the bill at the S\u00d8R Amfi in Arendal on March 2 with a full supporting undercard to be announced shortly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[AdSense-A] Kai Robin Havnaa (13-0, 11 KOs) will face his toughest career test against Rad \u2018Thunder\u2019 Rashid (16-4, 13 KOs) on March 2 at the S\u00d8R Amfi in Arendal. \u2018King Kai\u2019 is back at the S\u00d8R Amfi having blasted out Daniel Vencl inside two-rounds on February 3.
